TEHRAN - The head of Iran's Trade Promotion Organization (TPO) has said the country’s private sector is the pioneer in economic development, the TPO portal reported.

During a visit to Kordestan Province, Mohammad-Ali Dehghan Dehnavi pointed to the economic capacities of Kordestan Province and emphasized the strong presence of the private sector in the development and progress of this province.

Speaking at a meeting with the board members of the Kordestan Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture, the official said: “This belief should be strengthened among the people and operators of the private sector of Kordestan province that there is no discriminatory view in the governing body because this mentality without a doubt creates a big obstacle for the development of the province.”

“The government's economic team is ready to support economic operators in all parts of the country,” the TPO head added.
