Turkmen Ambassador to Iran Announces Readiness to Visit North Khorasan

TEHRAN (Iran News) The President of the Bojnourd Chamber pointed out that the main demands of the investors and entrepreneurs present at the meeting included support for completing the value chain of medicinal plants in the province, resolving issues related to obtaining permits and selling products, expediting the payment of bank loans, and ensuring water supply for Shirvan’s agro-industrial projects and industrial dairy cattle farming units.

Zahra Moeini, head of the Business Commission of the Bojnourd Chamber, stated that the aim of these sessions is to support investors in production and to overcome investment challenges and obstacles.

She added that the session also reviewed four cases related to the allocation of water resources, securing funding, licensing in the medicinal plants sector, mining royalties, and auditing records from the Social Security Organization.

Bahman Nouri, Governor of North Khorasan, emphasized during the session that production is a priority for the province. He acknowledged that part of the investors’ challenges stems from past shortcomings and weaknesses in the executive and production systems.

Nouri stressed that, inspired by this year’s national slogan, the provincial administration is determined to resolve investors’ problems, noting that these meetings are far from ceremonial.

He added that government departments must ensure the adequacy of infrastructure at project sites before issuing any investment permits, moving away from traditional methods of production and product distribution.

Highlighting the purpose of the “Facilitation Tuesdays” initiative, the Governor explained that the sessions aim to demonstrate tangible support from the Governor’s office and the entire provincial management system for production and investment.

Nouri concluded that these investment packages should include plans for networking, the creation of industrial clusters, value-added production, and branding with an export-oriented focus. Licenses must be granted to qualified investors with the necessary technical expertise.
