Tehran to boost Iranian companies' activities in Kazakhstan

"One of the policies of the government is to pay attention to the expansion of trade centers. Since we do not have good experience in supplying the markets of the commonwealth countries, we are seeking to have a greater share in the market of these states," Afqahi, who is also the Head of Iran's Trade Promotion Organization, said in a conference to introduce Iran's trade opportunities in Kazakhstan.

The official called on the Iranian companies to maintain good quality of their products in a bid to avoid any negative view by the commonwealth states about Iranian products.

Commenting on Tehran-Astana ties, Afqahi stressed that Tehran seeks expansion of bilateral ties with Kazakhstan, and noted, "Strengthening and promoting the two countries' private and cooperative sectors in line with the two sides' reciprocal investments is our most important objective."

He also stressed that the two countries' private sectors should establish Iran-Kazakhstan joint chamber of commerce, FNA reports.
