Iran, Turkey Keen to Further Boost Trade Exchanges
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian economic official said that the current volume of trade exchanges between Iran and Turkey stands at $10bln, stressing the two countries should provide the ground to increase their effective economic activities and trade exchanges.
"According to the plans, the $10-bln trade exchanges should increase to $30bln, which is possible given the existing potentials in both countries," member of Iran's Chamber of Commerce board of representatives Reza Kamel told reporters on Saturday.
He mentioned that there are a number of law and customs obstacles in the way of the expansion of trade exchanges between Iran and Turkey, which should be removed.
Iran and Turkey have in recent years increased their cooperation in all the various fields of economy, security, trade, education, energy and culture.
The two sides have exchanged several politico-economic delegations during the last few months.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul in a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani earlier in February underlined the need for the removal of obstacles to the further expansion of bilateral economic ties with Iran in a bid to boost trade cooperation between the two countries.
"The level of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries is not appropriate for the age-old ties of the two nations and we should remove the obstacles to the development of mutual cooperation between Iran and Turkey," Gul said at the time.
