Awake Goy Tehran, March 5, IRNA – A meeting of Iranian and Turkish economic activists convened in the Iranian capital on Saturday.
The meeting was held at Tehran Chamber of Commerce in the presence of First Vice-President Es-haq Jahangiri and visiting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
The Turkish prime minister heading a high-ranking delegation arrived in Tehran last night to mark the first official visit by a Turkish premier in the wake of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
He is accompanied by ministers of economy, customs and trade, energy, transport, communications and development, government officials and representatives of major Turkish media.
The visit follows consultations between Iran-Turkey foreign ministries with the objective of expansion and strengthening of political, cultural, and economic relations.
The Turkish prime minister is aiming to review ways to achieve the target of 30-billion-dollar trade with Iranian officials.
Turkey wants to give a new impetus to its trade ties with neighboring Iran following removal of sanctions through a more active role by its private sector.
Following Davutoglu’s visit to Iran, the upcoming visit by Foreign Minister Zarif and President Rouhani to Turkey are brought on the agenda.
The 25th round of Iran-Turkey Joint Economic Commission is scheduled to convene in Turkey later this year.
