Two Iranian local chambers of commerce have signed a cooperation document which is aimed to help give a boost to the country’s exports to neighboring Iraq, especially to southern province of Basrah.
The document was signed by Mostafa Mousavi, the chairman of Khorramshahr Chamber of Commerce, and Mahmoud Najafi Arab, the chairman of Tehran Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking on the sidelines of the signing ceremony, Mousavi referred to the potential of Khorramshahr and Abadan in southern Iran, and Iraq’s Barah Province, stressing that the private sector investors have to get familiar with the capacities of these areas.
Mahmoud Najafi Arab, the chairman of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, also told reporters that the document aims to increase cooperation between the two local chambers of commerce, enabling them to focus on exports of more goods to the Iraqi market. He believed that Basrah Province is a proper place for Iranian investment and transferring part of the production process from Iran to foreign countries.
