In a meeting between the head of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA) Mahmoud Najafi-Arab and Cong Peiwu, the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in Iran, the two sides stressed promoting trade ties and the exchange of business delegations between the two countries.
In this meeting, which was also attended by China’s commercial attaché and the secretary general of the TCCIMA, the two sides discussed the creation of a green line for obtaining visas for economic operators who are members of the TCCIMA, and the Chinese ambassador announced the readiness of this embassy to facilitate the process of issuing business visas.
As the TCCIMA portal reported, during the talks, Najafi-Arab referred to the activities of the China Affairs Office at the TCCIMA and the launch of the website of this chamber in Chinese and mentioned some of the common areas for economic cooperation between the private sector of the two countries.
According to the official, one of the obstacles in the way of the development of economic cooperation between the two sides is financial and banking problems for which the governments of the two countries must find a solution.
Najafi-Arab also pointed to the joint investment of the two countries in producing pharmaceutical raw materials in Iran as a win-win economic opportunity for the two countries and reminded that considering the cheap energy and raw materials in Iran, the production of these products in Iran can be attractive for the manufacturers of medicine in China, who have a large share in the trade of such products in the world.
Further in the meeting, Zong Pei Wu announced the readiness of the Chinese embassy to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Tehran Chamber of Commerce in promoting cooperation between the private sectors of the two countries, introducing each other’s market information and resolving cooperation disputes between the companies of both sides.—Tehran Times
