An economic delegation comprised of senior private-sector executives of a selected number of nationwide industries will represent Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture in Foreign Minister Javad Zarif's five-leg official visit to Latin America.
Javad Zarif will lead a high-ranking politico-economic delegation in his six-day tour of Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Chile and Bolivia starting from 21 August.
Iran Chamber's economic delegation is set to confer with economic activists and to hold B2B meetings in each of the Latin American countries.
The economic mission will diccuss cooperation in areas including technical and engineering services, mining, petrochemicals, oil products, medicine and medical supplies, agriculture and food industries, logistics, ship transport, banking affairs and investment.
Iran has consistently called for enhanced cooperation with businessmen and industrial activists in Latin American countries, especially as a landmark deal between Tehran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council have opened doors to the Middle East country’s market with nearly 80 million population.
The deal, also known as JCPOA, lifts all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran by the European Union, the Security Council and the US, in return for some limitations in its nuclear activities.
