A delegation of Iranian private sector activists is scheduled to visit neighboring Pakistan on October 25.
The Iranian delegation is said to be headed by President of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA) Gholam Hossein Shafei.
During their five-day stay in Pakistan, the Iranian delegation will visit the cities of Karachi and Lahore.
Apart from private sector activists, representatives from the Iranian government will also attend the delegation.
The delegation will be comprised of businesspersons active in different areas including, food and agriculture, oil and gas, petrochemicals, constructional and mining products, pharmaceutical and medical equipment, knowledge-based technology and transportation.
President of Iran Chamber of Commerce Gholam Hossein Shafei said late in February that there is no exact tariff mechanism for trade between Iran and Pakistan.
Shafei, who was speaking during a meeting in Tehran with President of Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mian Nauman Kabir, urged the need for the private sectors of both countries to press for finalizing and implementing a free trade mechanism.
Both Shafei and Nauman Kabir called for introducing a barter trade mechanism between Iran and Pakistan.
