SAEDNEWS: The chairman of the Iran-Qatar Joint Chamber of Commerce has confirmed that trade between Tehran and Doha has continued in recent months despite ongoing trade restrictions.
According to Saednews, Khorshid Gazderazi, who also heads the Bushehr Chamber of Commerce, said Iran’s exports to Qatar had continued over the past three to four months, demonstrating the ongoing flow of commercial exchanges between the two countries.
He identified minerals, construction materials, fresh fruits and vegetables as Iran’s main export commodities to Qatar.
Highlighting Bushehr Province’s export capacity, Gazderazi noted that between 70 and 75 refrigerated containers of goods are shipped to Qatar every day, reflecting the continuity of trade between Tehran and Doha.
He added that Iran also imports some of its required goods from Qatar, although on a limited scale. These imports include certain products, vehicles and containerized cargoes, which have entered the ports of Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces.
Gazderazi emphasized that Qatar is among the few destinations with which Iran maintains direct trade relations, without the involvement of intermediaries.
He said both countries possess considerable potential to expand their commercial and economic cooperation, calling on relevant authorities to remove existing trade barriers and facilitate bilateral exchanges.
The chairman also stressed the importance of utilizing international trade exhibitions to strengthen commercial ties. He noted that the participation of Iranian companies in prestigious exhibitions could showcase the country's industrial and production capabilities while creating new opportunities to expand markets for Iranian products.
