‘Iran’s share in exporting such goods as chemical and mining products, fuel, tar, heavy machines and automobiles, too, is very insignificant,’ Abbas Khaleqitabar told IRNA.

He added that the existence of a large market as Russia to the north of Iran provides a golden opportunity for the Iranian goods, especially for exports of agricultural products and foodstuff.

The Business Training Center’s top official said that the growing Iran-Russia relations, halting of Turkey’s exports to Russia and termination of the anti-Iranian sanctions have joined hands to provide a good opportunity for Iran to export a variety of goods to Russia.

Khaleqitabar, meanwhile, said that easing the customs’
procedures aimed at boosting the bilateral trade with Russia is a dire need of today and therefore the concerned officials are helping to provide for the establishment of a green corridor for this purpose.
