Head of Iran-Kazakhstan Joint Chamber of Commerce Amir Abedi has stressed the need for joint efforts by Tehran and Astana to cancel 30-day business visas.
Noting that Kazakhstan is one the top 20 trade partners of Iran, he said that easing visa requirements is one of the main measures to help boost relations between the two countries.
Cancelling 14-day visas between Iran and Kazakhstan was one of the main demands of the private sector actors which became operational last year, Abedi said, adding that the two countries should now push for cancelling 30-day visas.
Abedi called for more investments in the ports of Astara, Caspian, Amirabad, Aktau and Kuryk, which he said would ensure further enhanced relations between the two countries in the near future.
He also referred to the eagerness of Kazakhstan to transit via Iranian southern ports across the Persian Gulf, what he believed requires further activating Iran’s bordering Inche-bron Free Zone.
