Putting the current number of Irans active trade centers at 46, the chairman of the Trade Attachés and Trade Centers Department at the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI) said that a license has been issued for establishing a trade center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Mohammad Rajabnejad made the comments on Wednesday, adding that licenses have also been issued for the establishment of trade centers in Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia and Indonesia.
He drew a comparison between a commercial attache and a trade center and said that unlike the commercial envoy, a trade center is able to carry out marketing and consultation affairs and even can conclude contracts.
For instance, Iran’s trade center is active in Armenia, Russia and Qatar which can help producers and economic activists greatly, he added.
Rajabnejad further pointed out that the number of Iran’s trade centers in Africa is growing, adding that the country has active trade centers in Nigeria, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Algeria.
