Iranian goods to enter Turkmen market

An official, while pointing to attractiveness of Turkmenistan’s market for Iranian food exports, said a commercial center can be opened in Ashgabat.

Mehdi Pourghazi, head of the industrial committee of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, said Iranian traders are now faced with several obstacles in transport, customs issues and banking transactions which can only be resolved by the Iranian government.

He urged the government to take immediate action for removing existing barriers since Iranians seek to extend trade activities with Turkmenistan beyond oil and gas buy holding specialized exhibitions.

“Turkmens require equipment for oil and gas industries which offers a golden opportunity to Iranian exporters as well as that investments in power plant constructions which consume gas can take on added importance for Iran,” Pourghazi continued, Mehr reports.
