Harri Kämäräinen, Finland’s Ambassador to Iran, states that “the exhibition is an important cultural event, as this is the first time that Western photography is shown in the Tehran Metro.” The Metro serves the capital city’s population of sixteen million people and has over one million users a day. Through the exhibition, passengers on the Metro of the metropolis will have the opportunity to become acquainted with the nature and fauna of the North. “The exhibition is a suitable continuation of the successful visit to Tehran made by Kimmo Tiilikainen, Minister of Agriculture and the Environment, in early March, when Finnish Cleantech and environmental expertise were widely featured in Iran,” Ambassador Kämäräinen says.
