TEHRAN- The spokesman of the Trade Development Committee of the Industry, Mining and Trade House, emphasizing that US pressures have not been able to stop Iran’s foreign trade, said: Iran’s geographical capacities, economic links with neighboring countries, and the development of cooperation with trade partners such as China, Russia, Pakistan, and Turkey have made it possible for the flow of foreign trade to continue.
Seyed Ruhollah Latifi, in an interview with IRNA, referring to US efforts to limit Iran’s foreign trade and impose pressure on neighboring countries to reduce or stop trade exchanges with the country, stated: Despite political and economic pressures, restrictions created on some trade routes, and attempts to prevent the entry and exit of goods, Iran’s foreign trade has not stopped, and the country’s economic actors, using geographical capacities, alternative routes, and regional transportation facilities, are still carrying out trade activities.
He added: The economy of Iran and neighboring countries is connected through shared borders, mutual economic needs, transportation networks, consumer markets, and supply chains. These links are not merely political, such that they could easily be cut by a change in one government’s position or pressure from a foreign power; rather, the economic interests of people, producers, traders, and economic actors on both sides of the borders lie in the continuation of these exchanges.
