Head of Iran-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce say Iran’s partnership in the reconstruction of Afghanistan would bring benefits to the Iranian market.
Speaking to IRNA economic correspondent on Monday, Mahmoud Siadat urged the need for Iran’s more presence in Afghanistan’s market in the wake of the US withdrawal from the country.
He referred to a recent visit to Iran by a high-ranking Afghan economic delegation which he said was of special significance with the positive changes in Afghan economic situation.
Afghanistan aims to give a boost to trade exchanges and economic relations with Iran which provides a chance for more increased investment in the country, Siadat said.
He noted that severe intervention of foreign forces and red tape in Afghanistan had made it difficult for Iranian investors to establish their foothold in the country’s economy, especially in industrial, mining and agricultural sectors.
Siadat said that the withdrawal of foreign forces has however changed the conditions for the presence of Iranian companies in Afghanistan.
