Iran to attend D-8 ministerial meeting on industry
TEHRAN,Oct.2(MNA)-- Iran’s minister of industry, mine and trade, Mehdi Ghazanfari, is scheduled to attend the second Developing Eight Countries (D-8) Ministerial Meeting on Industry, which is to be held during 4-6 October 2011, in Istanbul, Turkey, an official said.
The deputy minister Hamid Safdel said that the Iranian minister will head a high ranking delegation of officials and industry managers in the meeting.
As a result of the “5th Meeting of D-8 Working Group on Industrial Cooperation” and “1st Ministerial Meeting on Industry” organized in Iran last year, it was decided to organize the “2nd Ministerial Meeting” and the “6th Meeting of the Working Group” in Istanbul on 4-6 October 2011.
Iran will deliver the secretary general position of the meeting to Turkey.
The group of D-8 countries officially started its activities in 1997 with the aim of developing cooperation among member countries. The major economic objectives of D-8 are promoting the position of member countries in the world economy, giving variety and provision of new opportunities in commercial relations, increasing the participation of member countries in international decision-making, and raising the level of living standards. Considering the above mentioned economic purposes, the industrial cooperation among member countries can be regarded as the basis of cooperation among D-8 countries.
The member countries which include Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Turkey, all are developing countries that attempt to reach their targets by mutual cooperation. The 4.17% rate of the export share of the member countries from total world export clearly shows that these countries can go rapidly move toward development cooperating with each other and expect a minimum share of 10% of the world economy.
