TEHRAN- The representative office of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA) was opened in Khorgos in the presence of the president and secretary-general of the Tehran Chamber and managers of the Khorgos International Chamber of Commerce.
The office began operating in implementation of bilateral agreements and with the aim of expanding trade interactions, exchanging economic information, and introducing investment opportunities. Khorgos is China’s connection point to Europe and, relying on rail network connections, plays an important role in container transfer, combined transport, and the movement of goods between East and West.
Concurrent with the dispatch of the Tehran Chamber’s trade delegation to China, the Chamber’s representative office was opened in Khorgos, and Jalil Adibi was introduced as the Chamber’s representative in Khorgos. Strengthening ties between Iranian and Chinese trading firms, introducing reputable partners, and supporting Iran’s private sector in Chinese and Central Asian markets are among the stated goals of launching this representative office.
Last year, the Tehran Chamber and the Khorgos International Chamber of Commerce signed a cooperation memorandum, drawing a joint framework for developing trade relations and utilizing the economic and logistical capacities of the Khorgos dry port.
