A three-member committee has been formed which is tasked with facilitating the presence of Iranian businesspeople in Oman, according to the head of Iran-Oman Joint Chamber of Commerce.
Jamal Razeghi made the remarks on Monday during a visit to Shiraz Chamber of Commerce in southern Iran by a high-ranking Omani trade delegation.
He said that the three-member committee is composed of representatives from Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Oman Investment Authority, and Iran-Oman Joint Chamber of Commerce.
Oman has zero tariffs with 21 world countries which provides a chance for the Iranian traders and businesspeople to further expand exports to the Sultanate, Razeghi said.
He added that major agreements have been reached between Iran and Oman which have led to resolution of problems on the way of regular shipping, financial and banking exchanges as well as the presence of Iranian businesspeople in Oman.
Speaking in the meantime, Oman’s Minister of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion Qais bin Mohammed Al Yousef, who led the Omani delegation, said that the governments of Iran and Oman are making every effort to help more increased engagement of the private sectors of both countries in bilateral exchanges.
The two governments stress the need for offering incentives to the private sector actors to play a more active role in economic and trade relations between Tehran and Muscat, the minister said.
He underlined that the two neighboring countries can cooperate on different areas including, energy, food, agriculture, aquaculture and processing industries.
