Tehran, Iran, Jan.25
Trend:
Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Oman Mohammad Nouri at a meeting with a group of Iranian businessmen in Muscat, emphasized the increase of Iranian exports to Oman.
Nouri presented a brief report on the development of trade and economic relations between Iran and Oman and emphasized on the readiness of the embassy to provide any assistance and support to the Iranian private sector in developing and expanding trade relations between the two countries.
The heads of chambers of commerce in Hamadan and Alborz provinces in a joint meeting with the ambassador said that the two provinces had a good capacity to export Iranian products, particularly in the fields of agricultural products, food and beverage industries and dried fruits, and also expressed their readiness to export such products to Oman.
Oman agreed in October 2018 to provide exclusive access to its Suwayq port to Iran.
After three years of negotiations, Al Suwaiq Port extended services to Iranian ships of less than 1,000 tons carrying food, agricultural products and construction materials to the neighboring country.
Iran’s commercial attaché to Oman recently announced that, the proximity of Al Suwaiq Port to Iran’s ports of Jask and Bandar Abbas, and Oman’s Muscat and Al Khazain would reduce trade costs between the two countries.
