TEHRAN (Iran News) – Armenia is ready to provide the grounds for bolstering its economic relations with Iran, says the Armenian ambassador to the Islamic Republic.
In a meeting with East Azarbaijan tradesmen, Artashes Toumanian stressed that his country is ready to help promote ties between the Eurasian Union and the Iranian businessmen, particularly the traders of East Azarbaijan province, which borders Armenia.
The envoy noted that the move comes in line with Armenia’s efforts to keep global standards in its economic relations and supporting business people.
Information technology, agriculture, technical and engineering services, renewable energies, pharmaceutical, tourism, hotel industry, and gas sector are among the areas of cooperation, he added.
Iranian companies can export their products to the Eurasia market without any customs fees through transferring their production to Armenia, he said.
Referring to the establishing of the Iran-EAEU trade office in Armenia, he announced his country’s readiness to invest $ 1 million in the project.
The Armenian official further invited ICCIMA head to attend the meeting of the chairmen of EAEU member states’ chambers of commerce to be held in Armenia in May 2020.
Referring to the good political relations between the two countries, Gholam Hossein Shafei, for his part, said that despite cultural proximity, the existence of numerous agreements and extensive political ties, the amount of exchanges and joint ventures between Iran and Armenia is limited.
