The 3rd International Industrial and Metalworking Technologies Exhibition dubbed ‘AMB Iran 2018’ will be held at Shahr-e Aftab International Exhibition, Tehran on June 26-29.

So far, more than 140 exhibition pavilions from 12 countries [including Iran, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, China, Taiwan, Japan, Czech Republic and Russia] have expressed their readiness to take part in this edition of exhibition.

The exhibition can pave suitable ground for joint investment and trade talks in the field of enhancing and promoting Iran’s industrial level coupled with transferring world’s modern technology to Iran.

Accordingly, European Union Commission (EC) will visit the exhibition in Tehran to follow up trade and economic ties. In addition, Bulgarian ambassador to Iran and EU president will also attend the inaugural ceremony of the exhibition at the head of a high-raking trade and economic delegation.

For his part, Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Sadegh Najafi said, “establishing trade-economic ties between Iranian entrepreneurs and producers continually and their foreign counterparts is one of the main objectives behind organizing this exhibition.”

Following the US pullout from JCPOA, most European countries are interested in maintaining their amicable relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran in all fields, he emphasized.

Chief executive of Iranian Small Industries and Industrial Parks Organization (ISIPO) pointed to some domestic dilemmas and misuse of some officials in political and economic situation of the country, and said, “youth and young walks of life in the country should be supported duly in order to move the country towards development and prosperity.”

The executive director of German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association (VDW) Wilfried Schäfer said, “effective steps were taken in this regard for renovating and rehabilitating tool manufacturing industry in Iran three years ago following the lifting of sanctions imposed against Iran.”

The exhibition will open to public every day from 10 a.m. to 17.

Tehran Hosts Conference on Leader’s Stances on JCPOA

A conference titled “Lasting Experience” was held in Tehran to study Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei’s stances on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.

The Islamic Revolution Institute organized the conference in Tehran on Wednesday morning.

Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to the Leader on international issues, was the keynote speaker of the gathering.

A number of academic figures and professors of politics and international relations also delivered speeches at the conference.

The event included three panels of experts discussing the reasons of Ayatollah Khamenei’s permission for nuclear talks, the Leader’s criteria for negotiations and a suitable deal, as well as the Leader’s guidance on the JCPOA and the post-JCPOA era.

On May 8, the US president pulled his country out of the JCPOA, which was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).

Following the US exit, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the accord.

Meanwhile, Ayatollah Khamenei has underlined that any decision to keep the JCPOA running without the US should be conditional on “practical guarantees” from the three European parties to the deal.

In comments on May 23, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that Europeans must protect Iranian oil sales from the US pressure and continue buying Iranian crude, and must promise they would not seek new negotiations on Iran’s missile program and regional activities.

“European banks should safeguard trade with the Islamic Republic. We do not want to start a fight with these three countries (France, Germany and Britain), but based on their past records, we don’t trust them either,” the Leader said.

Korean ambassador: home ready to host Iranian art exhibits

reporter 1222 — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 07:16:47 +0000

TEHRAN – South Korean Ambassador Kim Seung-ho said on Sunday that he would eagerly welcome any offer from Iranian artists to showcase their works in exhibitions at his residence in Tehran.

“I would like to offer any Iranian artists who are interested to display works in my residence,” the ambassador told the Tehran Times in an interview held at the 23rd Press Exhibition on Sunday.

The ambassador visited the Tehran Times pavilion and talked about his interest in Persian art and the future exhibits to be held in Tehran and Seoul.

So far several exhibits have been held at the residence of the ambassador in Tehran including an exhibition of Persian calligraphy works by Iranian artist Javad Bakhtiari and an exhibition of a collection of Iranian marquetry works.

Kim said that he does not have any professional advisor for choosing artworks for exhibits, and that his interest in Persian art varies from calligraphy to painting. He is interested in Persian calligraphy since there is calligraphy in Korea and that shows commonality in the art of the two countries.

He also talked about the next exhibit due to be held at his residence.

“We are organizing an exhibition of fashions to display a number of Iranian and Korean costumes in my residence. But we have not decided about the exact date yet,” he said.

Kim next explained about his interest in Persian art.

“Iranian ancient culture is the cradle of humanity, and as humans we enjoy ancient Persian culture. This Persian culture has long affected European culture, and was also taken to China via the Silk Road and then through China, Korea was also affected. That is, Iranian culture is deeply rooted and widespread in Korea, but many people do not know that,” he explained.

“The world is very dependent on your culture. That is why I am very interested in your culture too,” he added.

Kim also announced that an exhibition of Iranian metal works will open in Seoul on November 15.

“The weeklong exhibit will be held in the central hall of the Korea Foundation. The artifacts have been selected by Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Organization and 10 Iranian artists will be visiting Korea during the exhibit,” he concluded.
