He further mentioned Oman’s long-term development plan for 2040 and said: “The Iran chamber is working on an action plan for the active participation of the private sectors of the two countries in this development plan.”Welcoming the remarks of the ICCIMA head, Almuaini said: “The Omani government regularly encourages the country’s private sector to increase exchanges with Iran and we are trying to facilitate such exchanges and remove obstacles.”“Until five years ago, the exchanges between the two countries did not exceed $200 million dollars, but now it has increased to more than two billion dollars. Of course, although the progress of economic relations between the two countries is significant, we should not be satisfied with this level,” the envoy added.Also, in early May, a Joint Iran-Oman Business Forum was held at the place of ICCIMA in a bid to boost trade exchange between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Sultanate of Oman.The forum aimed at consolidating bilateral business relations, conducting strategic partnerships to augment the volume of investments and business activity, and accessing new economic fields.Several B2B meetings were held during the forum between Omani and Iranian businesspeople. The meetings targeted striking business and investment deals. As many as 250 Iranian firms took part in the event.Prior to the forum, ICCIMA former Head Gholam-Hossein Shafeie met with his Omani counterpart to discuss avenues of mutual cooperation between the two countries’ private sectors.In this meeting, while emphasizing the need to remove trade obstacles, Shafeie said: “Attention should be paid to multilateral cooperation and joint investments so that the markets of the two countries can take advantage of each other’s business opportunities in any situation.” (ICE TEHERAN)
