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.

Turkmenistan ambassador to Iran says his country does not have visa waiver with any country, vowing that Iranians will receive visas easily to visit his country for new year celebrations.

Ahmad Ghorbanov told MNA correspondent that his country does not have visa waivers with any country, and that makes it difficult to travel there, emphasizing that they see no hurdles on the way of issuing visas for Iranians to visit his country.

He said that any Iranian travel agency can apply for a tourist visa, provided that it has a contract with an agency in Turkmenistan, or an individual in Turkmenistan sends an invitation to them.

Mr. Ghorbanov added “It is true that we do not have a great demand for tourist visas to our country, and we may not be as much attractive for tourists as Thailand or Turkey, but so far, the agencies that have contracts with Turkmenistan have not been denied visas,” adding “our only reason for stricter visa issuance for tourists compared to other countries is that it has negative consequences, such as drug trafficking into our country. That’s why the Turkmen government says those who send an invitation to tourists should accept responsibility.”

Ghorbanov went on to add “Iran and Turkmenistan were close to have visa waivers and to have direct flights, but now we do not have. We already have a border crossing visa for the people living on the two sides of the border between us who can travel up to 45 kilometers across the border.”

He also asserted “the Turkmen government has invested $ 5 billion in a famous tourist resort along the Caspian Sea, with a number of 30 5-star hotels ready to come to effect,” adding “this coastal town is ready to host international competitions in the future. The area was a dry and desert land, but after the investment, it has now become a tourist destination.”

Ghorbanov concluded his exposition by stressing that Nowruz is of high importance for his country, adding that they are going to celebrate this year’s Nowruz at a dome-shaped building called ‘Nowruz Palace,’ with a capacity of 3,000 people.
