TEHRAN – The chairman of Iran-Armenia Joint Chamber of Commerce here
on Monday said that Iran’s ninth exclusive exhibition will be held
in Yerevan from July 4 to 8.

Leon Aharonian said that taking into account Iran’s two specialized
exhibitions held in Armenia, it is Iran’s 11th show in Armenia,
reported the Mehr News Agency.

The purpose of this exhibition is to promote non-oil exports and to
boost mutual relations.

The exhibition will display Iran’s industrial production and its
technical capabilities as well as other products of the country
including foodstuff, constructional material, industrial equipment,
detergents, home appliances, and agricultural products.

Aharonian put the two sides’ trade in the last calendar year (ended
March 20) at $230 million, adding that the two sides have several
joint ventures in hand like the construction of a hydroelectric
power station on the borderline Aras River that will produce 800
million kilowatts of electricity per annum and the establishment of
the Iran-Armenia railway.
