TEHRAN - Director-General of Iranian Trade Promotion Organization (TPO)’s Office of Arabian and African Countries has said the country plans to hold at least five exclusive exhibitions in Iraq during the current Iranian calendar year (ends in late March 2022).

According to Farzad Piltan, TPO also plans to make the necessary preparations for the participation of Iranian companies in more than 15 international exhibitions that are scheduled to be held in Iraq in the current year.

“According to the plans of the Trade Promotion Organization for introducing Iranian products and also the country’s capabilities in technical engineering services to the markets of the neighboring countries, the presence of the country in the form of national pavilions in three Iraqi international exhibitions is on the agenda for the coming months,” Piltan told ILNA on Sunday.

International Trade Exhibition for Construction Technology, Building Materials and Equipment (Project Iraq), and Sulaymaniyah International Agriculture and Food Industry Fair are among the exhibitions in which Iranian exhibitors will be participating, the official said.

Iran and Iraq have been taking serious measures for boosting all-out ties between the two countries and as a major exporter to the Iraqi market, Iran has played a significant role in meeting the needs of its Arab neighbor.

Iran and Iraq presidents have previously agreed to augment trade between the two countries to $20 billion a year and in this regard numerous trade delegations have been exchanged between the two sides and several exhibitions have been held in both countries over the past few years.
