He noted that, using the budgets and government incentives allocated to the TPOI, the organization has assumed hosting-related matters and associated costs in line with existing protocols.

Roshanbakhsh emphasized that trade delegations, official delegations, and members of chambers of commerce from participating countries will cover their respective expenses in accordance with hosting protocols, expressing hope for strong and active participation by economic operators from Eurasian member states.

Referring to the specialized meetings planned during the exhibition, the Head of the Organizing Committee said that four key topics have been selected for discussion in expert panels: first, monetary and financial issues of importance in the Eurasian region; second, an examination of the North–South Corridor involving Eurasian Economic Union member countries; third, standards for goods of member and observer countries; and finally, a review of products with competitive advantages in the region. These topics will be examined in detail during the specialized sessions.
