Third EURASIA Expo International Exhibition will be held at Tehran Central Exhibition Complex from 21 to 24 February. Iran has an observer status in the Russian-lead Eurasian Economic Union since last December.
The event will bring together representatives of the Eurasian Economic Union's (EAEU) countries: Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Iran.
Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref will attend the opening ceremony on 21 February, according to BRICS TV.
The event will cover key sectors including agriculture, engineering, construction, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals. According to Iranian Minister of Industry, Mines, and Trade Seyed Mohammad Atabak, the exhibition is an excellent platform for the development of trade with EAEU countries.
The business programme includes plenary sessions, panel discussions and bilateral negotiations. The meetings will discuss trade relations between Tehran and the EAEU and the free trade agreement, banking sector, logistics, customs regulation and investment cooperation.
The Iran-Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement promises to eliminate tariffs for 87% of traded goods.
It is expected that this event will contribute to the strengthening of economic ties between the states and the development of industrial cooperation. Among the main objectives are to create conditions for interaction at the level of industry associations, to develop effective business support mechanisms, as well as to exchange data on the needs of customers and suppliers.
