President Lays Out Plan to Stimulate Iran’s Trade in Foreign Visits

During a visit to Iran’s northeastern city of Mashhad on Tuesday, Pezeshkian held a meeting with business people from Khorasan Razavi province.

Pledging his administration’s interaction with merchants and industrialists, the president said he is going to visit different countries to pave the way for the revitalization of Iran’s trade and exports.

He also unveiled plans to stimulate economic growth and provide employment in Iran, saying, “We intend to give assurances to business people with those (foreign) trips and prepare the ground for the improvement of trade and exports in the country.”
