Iran, Belarus to boost economic ties

The Iran-Belarus joint economic commission is to hold its eight meeting in Tehran, this time focusing on new ways to expand economic ties.

According to Iran's Trade Promotion Organization, the amount of trade between Iran and Belarus is not significant considering the great potentials for economic cooperation; therefore, the two will be mainly seeking to boost bilateral relations.

Iran and Belarus are capable of developing to the point where they not only meet their domestic demand but also export to other countries, IRNA says.

During the four-day meeting, which is scheduled to start August 12, the two sides will negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding on tariff preferences.

Possible solutions to issues related to customs services and establishing a branch of an Iranian Bank as well as production standards, are among the topics that will be discussed in the meeting.

On the last day, Iran's Minister of Commerce and the Belarusian Minister of Industries will sign an MoU to strengthen the two sides business relations.
