The third Eurasian Trade Exhibition is underway in Tehran, featuring 200 foreign delegations from member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
During his visit to the exhibition, President Masoud Pezeshkian toured several booths and engaged in discussions with business representatives from various industries. He emphasized the strategic importance of deepening Iran’s economic ties with the EAEU and pledged the government’s full support for expanding trade relations.
Mohammad-Ali Dehghan Dehnavi, head of Iran's Trade Promotion Organization (TPO), who was also present at the exhibition, highlighted the significant growth in trade between Iran and EAEU nations.
"Since the initial trade agreement between Iran and Eurasian countries was established four years ago, our trade volume has increased by 2.5 times. However, we are still far from our ultimate goals," he stated.
He also noted that Iran’s free trade agreement with the EAEU has been approved by parliament and is yet to be confirmed by the Guardian Council. This agreement is expected to further facilitate economic exchanges and remove barriers to trade between Iran and EAEU member states.
The Eurasian Trade Exhibition is being held in a 12,000-square-meter venue in Tehran and has attracted 180 Iranian companies alongside 160 foreign firms from EAEU countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. Additionally, 230 visiting companies are participating in various business negotiations and specialized panels.
