Tehran, 9 February: The establishment of Iran-Armenia trade centre will
pave the way for exchange of goods and services between both countries.
Announcing this, deputy minister of commerce, Babak Afqahi told
the International Conference to Introduce Trade and Investment
Opportunities in Armenia Tuesday [9 February] that the centre will
help boost exchanges between the two countries.
Stating that trade exchanges worth 200 million dollars between the
two countries in 2008 is not acceptable, he further noted that the
figure is meagre compared to the volume of exchanges with other
neighbouring states.
One of the strategies of Iran is to increase its economic exchanges
with its neighbours, Afqahi, who also doubles as the head of Iran’s
Trade Development Centre said, noting that’s for the same reason that
Armenia is of significant priority for Iran in this respect.
He also expressed Iranian companies’ readiness to open a new era of
cooperation with that country.
Iran is prepared to make available different technologies to that
country, he noted..
International Conference to Introduce Trade and Investment
Opportunities in Armenia is to end in Islamic Republic of Iran
Broadcasting’s (IRIB) Conferences Hall on Wednesday.
