TEHRAN, Nov 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran is exporting 250 tonnes of foodstuffs and agricultural products per day to Qatar, during the FIFA World Cup, said Iran’s Trade Promotion Organisation (TPO) head, yesterday.
Iran already started some of the shipments to Qatar, according to the agreement between the two countries, Iran’s IRIB news agency quoted TPO President, Alireza Peymanpak, as saying.
Peymanpak stressed that, boosting trade with neighbours, including Qatar, is among the main approaches of the current Iranian government.
Peymanpak said previously, trade ties between Iran and Qatar failed to be favourably developed, due to problems such as a lack of appropriate customs and transportation infrastructure, which have been partially resolved.
He added, Iran and Qatar have prepared a roadmap to raise their annual bilateral trade transactions to three billion U.S. dollars.
