Iran’s private sector has significant capabilities to enhance trade with Tunisia across multiple industries, Samad Hassanzadeh, President of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture said on Sunday, emphasizing the need for closer economic cooperation between the two nations.
In a meeting with Tunisia’s Ambassador to Iran, Imad Al-Rahmuni, Hassanzadeh highlighted the vast opportunities for partnership, urging greater exchange of market data to help businesses in both countries identify trade and investment possibilities.
Iran’s private sector has strong potential in food industries, petrochemicals, steel, machinery, construction, tunnel and railway development, medical services, and greenhouse agriculture, he stated.
Hassanzadeh also pointed to joint production and investment in heavy machinery and tractors in Tunisia as a promising avenue for cooperation.
Al-Rahmouni welcomed Iran’s interest in expanding economic ties, noting that political relations between the two nations remain strong, and efforts are underway to establish direct flights between Tehran and Tunis to facilitate business exchanges and tourism growth.
He also stressed the importance of reviving the Iran-Tunisia Joint Business Council, which has been inactive for years, noting that this council will be crucial in strengthening business partnerships and unlocking new opportunities.
Both sides expressed their commitment to expanding trade, investment, and tourism, with Iran Chamber of Commerce president pledging to host and send business delegations to further deepen economic ties.
