Yerevan to Host Iran-Armenia Business Forum to Bolster Economic Ties


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Armenia’s Ministry of Economy on Tuesday announced that the Yerevan Expo Center will host an Iran-Armenia Business Forum on August 25-26, 2023.

According to the ministry, packages of investment and export opportunities of Iran’s free and special economic zones with a focus on the cooperation of the two countries as well as packages of investment and tourism capacities will be presented at the forum.

Import and export companies, tour organizers, producers of home appliances, cosmetics, textiles, automotive parts, LED lamps, greenhouse and agricultural equipment and insurance companies will attend the forum.

Back in April, the Kapan Cultural Center in Syunik province in southern Armenia hosted an exhibition that showcased features of Iran's free economic zones (FEZs).

High-ranking Iranian and Armenian officials and traders attended the exhibition.

In April 2012, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was inked between Iran’s Aras Free Economic Zone and Armenia’s Meghri Free Trade Zone.
