Following the discussions, the Belarusian delegation toured the logistics, industrial, and manufacturing infrastructures of the Sarakhs Special Economic Zone.
Speaking to the delegation, Mohammad Reza Rajabi Moghaddam, the manager of the Sarakhs Special Economic Zone, announced the formation of a working group dedicated to economic diplomacy to enhance foreign relations.
