TEHRAN – A high-level delegation from the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA) visited the Khorgos Free Economic Zone in China after completing meetings in Almaty, Kazakhstan, to explore opportunities for expanding economic ties.

The group, led by TCCIMA Head Mahmoud Najafi Arab and joined by representatives from Iran’s Customs Administration and business associations, traveled to Khorgos, a fast-developing hub linking China with Central Asia and Europe.

Over the past decade, Khorgos has grown into a major transit and trade center. The Iranian delegation toured three key facilities: a solar panel and energy storage battery plant built with significant investment, a state-run logistics company managing cargo transfers between rail and trucks for cross-border transit, and a commercial complex tied to an online sales platform showcasing domestic and foreign goods.

Officials said the visit was aimed at assessing Khorgos’ infrastructure and exploring prospects for deeper cooperation in logistics, energy, and e-commerce to strengthen Iran’s regional trade links.
