Iran Press/Iran news: The Head of Iran-Oman Joint Chamber of Commerce Mohsen Zarabi made the remarks on Monday afternoon, February 17 at the Oman Mining Opportunities meeting, saying that Iran's total export to Oman was $146 million in 2013, but last year it reached $728 million.
He added that due to lack of infrastructure, there were various problems in terms of cooperation between the two countries in 2013, but now the infrastructure has been developed and its impact on the growth of trade is obvious. Zarabi said that Oman with a five million population is the third in the West Asia in terms of port facilities and the mining sector holds the fifth position in its economy.
He referred to the establishment of a joint chamber between the two countries in 2013, adding that today the main task of this chamber is to facilitate trade and economic relations between Tehran-Muscat, and by 2017 the volume of exports did not increase significantly but now it has improved.
"Iran and Oman have good relations in the political field and we are trying to reach a higher level of economic relations between the two countries," Zarabi concluded.
