Iran Press/ Iran News: Leading a top marine delegation to Tehran, Abdulla Mohamed AL Khanji told the Head of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) Ali-Akbar Safaei the investment in Dayyer and Bushehr ports, southern Iran, along with increasing the depth of the ports' berths and widening their channel for better access, could help increase the volume of trade between the two countries.
He said that the Qatari government sought to facilitate the traffic of larger vessels between the ports of the two countries to increase the trade volume and reduce the costs and final price of the goods shipped.
Qatar intended to shore up bilateral trade ties by providing the necessary facilities to the Iranian and Qatari marine private sectors.
The Director-General of Iran's PMO said for his part that all options were on the table to expand trade and economic ties between Tehran and Doha.
Safaei highlighted the capacities of Dayyer and Bushehr ports for investment and said Iran's suggestion for Qatar was to establish a support center in Bushehr Port to better control the supply of the goods exported from there to Qatar.
