The Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade of Iran plans to organize a joint commission conference with Uzbekistan in the coming days.
Director General of the US-Europe Office of Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI) Mohammad-Reza Karimzadeh said on Friday that the 14th Iran-Uzbekistan Joint Commission will convene in Tehran on February 20-21, 2022.
Expertise committees have held talks in recent days to coordinate preparing draft for a memorandum of understanding between Uzbekistan and Iran on economic, investment, customs, transportation, energy, health, scientific, technological, tourism, cultural and agricultural arenas, Karimzadeh added.
The director general also went on to say that given the importance of enhancing relations between private sectors of both countries, the organizers plan to hold a seminar on trade opportunities of the two nations on the sidelines of the conference at the venue of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines & Agriculture on February 21.
As to the significance of the conference in developing trade and economic relationship between Uzbekistan and Iran, the Iranian official noted that Uzbekistan is one of the important and target states in terms of export destination of Iranian commodities.
Iran’s exports to Uzbekistan have witnessed a growth in recent months, Karimzadeh said.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Diplomacy Mehdi Safari said on February 17 that the Islamic Republic is going to hold two joint economic commissions with Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in Tehran in coming days separately.
It is expected that holding such joint economic commissions will help sign promising agreements for future cooperation in different fields, Safari noted.
According to the deputy foreign minister, an expertise delegation will visit Tehran to discuss collaborations with officials in Iran’s agriculture sector.
Pakistan and Iran have so far shown determination to enhance economic and trade ties between private and administrative sectors of both countries, Safari added.
