10 countries of this continent including Nigeria, Libya, Gabon, Algeria and Angola are oil exporters. Due to the heavy rains, most of the lands of this continent are fertile and the dense forests next to the green fields are considered one of the God-given treasures of Africa. This continent can provide food for all the people of the world with a modern agricultural system and with some investment. This rich continent owns 20-25% of the world’s electric and hydraulic capacity and can provide clean energy for the whole world with solar energy technology.
Iranian investors and businessmen and owners of private sector industries can operate in the field of small industries, heavy industries and infrastructure.
In terms of geopolitics, the location of Africa between the continents of Asia and Europe and the existence of four strategic sea waterways (Suez Canal, Strait of Gibraltar, Bab Al-Mandeb and Cape Omidnik) have given special importance to this continent.
