Hossein Pirmoazzen, the Chairman of Ardebil Chamber of Commerce, a provincial chamber of commerce in northwestern Iran, said on Monday that Iran and Russia have made the primary agreements for launching an Iranian trade center in Moscow.
He said that the agreement was made during a visit to the Russian capital by a delegation from Ardebil Chamber of Commerce.
Establishment of a permanent exhibition of Iranian products in Moscow was also agreed upon by the two sides, Pirmoazzen said.
He said that during the meeting in Moscow, both sides explored ways for enhancement of bilateral relations between the two countries, underlining the need for further promotion of economic exchanges.
During a visit to Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA) on Saturday, Chairman of Russian-Iranian Business Council Vladimir Obydenov said that his country is looking forward to a railway transit to Pakistan and India through Azerbaijan and Iran.
Obydenov said that the completion of Rasht-Astara railway in northern Iran is of special significance for Moscow.
He noted that Rasht-Astara railway would help link Pakistan to Russia.
Russia is ready to reconstruct the old railway in the Pakistani side if the Iranian side would complete its part as soon as possible, Obydenov said.
