Vice presidents of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA) held separate meetings with business delegations from Afghanistan and Oman on the second day of Iran Expo 2025, aiming to enhance private sector cooperation between the countries.
The Iran Chamber’s booth at the exhibition became a hub of economic dialogue on Tuesday, attracting visits from business leaders, trade officials, and government figures.
Mohammad Younus Mohmand, President of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment, led a delegation in talks with Mohammad Reza Bahraman and Payam Baqeri, vice presidents of the Iran Chamber of Commerce.
Baqeri said the Afghan delegation's presence helped establish direct ties between traders from both countries. He stressed that close collaboration between the Iranian and Afghan chambers is essential for expanding bilateral economic cooperation.
He also highlighted Afghanistan’s market potential and revealed plans for the Iran Chamber to send a trade mission to Kabul in the near future. However, he pointed out that resolving ongoing banking issues between the two countries remains critical for progress.
Mohmand, while acknowledging the importance of cooperation, expressed concerns over challenges faced by Afghan investors in Iran. He urged Iranian authorities to create more favorable conditions for Afghan business activities.
Baqeri responded that the Iran Chamber stands ready to facilitate Afghan investment and is committed to addressing investor concerns.
Later, Baqeri also met with the President of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate. The two sides discussed boosting commercial exchanges and explored opportunities for broader provincial-level cooperation. The Omani delegation emphasized the importance of mutual trade visits and invited the Iran Chamber to dispatch a business delegation to Oman.
