Iran to expand trade ties with Ukraine

Tehran Times cited Mr Mas’ud Mirkazemi Iran’s minister of commerce as saying that Iran wants to expand trade ties with Ukraine. He made the statement in a meeting with Oksana Slusarenko Ukraine’s deputy economic affairs minister.

Mr Mirkazemi referred to banking, customs, and transportation ties as the main infrastructures the two sides could increase bilateral trade volume. He put emphasis on getting familiar with each other’s commercial opportunities and said that “To this end, we could create joint chamber of commerce, hold exhibitions, and dispatch trade delegations.”
