The president of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA), Samad Hassanzadeh, left for Jordan on Saturday to attend the 39th board meeting of the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Development.
The gathering, along with the chamber’s 70th financial committee meeting, is scheduled to be held on Sunday in the Jordanian capital of Amman.
The chamber’s financial committee is comprised of nine members including the chambers of commerce of Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Its board includes chambers from 19 countries, ranging from Azerbaijan to Sudan, as well as the secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation as an observer member.
According to the chamber’s charter, board meetings are held twice a year. The upcoming session is expected to cover issues including board and presidential elections for the next four-year term, a Qatari proposal on the chamber’s future strategic orientation inspired by the European Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and expanded cooperation with Palestinian businesses.
Participants are also due to discuss plans for the chamber’s 50th anniversary celebrations and set the date and venue for the next board meeting.
