TEHRAN - Managing Director of Iran International Exhibitions Company Bahman Hosseinzadeh announced that the first international exhibition of Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states is planned to be held in Tehran.

Speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony on the occasion of the 23rd National Exports Day anniversary, Hosseinzadeh stressed the important role of international exhibitions in boosting exports.
