Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA) is scheduled to hold an Iran-Kazakhstan Joint Business Forum on April 25.
The business forum will take place simultaneous with a visit to Iran by Kazakhstan’s Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov.
Iran Foreign Ministry had announced few days earlier that the Kazakh prime minister was going to visit Tehran at the head of a trade delegation upon an invitation by Iran’s First Vice-President Mohammad Mokhber.
B2B meetings are also scheduled to be held between Kazakhstan businesspeople and their Iranian counterparts on the sidelines of the business forum.
The Kazakh delegation is said to be comprised of businesspersons active in the areas of light industries, agriculture, electro-technic, chemicals and pharmaceutical industries, production of construction materials and oil and gas industries.
In a previous Iran-Kazakhstan Joint Business Forum in Tehran last June, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan Bakhyt Sultanov said that his country could expand economic relations with Iran so that the volume of bilateral trade reach $3 billion.
