Representatives from more than 350 Iranian and Russian enterprises attended the Iran-Russia Trade Conference on Thursday, which was held at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Moscow.

At the conference, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazzem Jalali, Head of Iran's Trade Promotion Organization (TPOI) Alireza Peyman-Pak, and President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sergey Katyrin spoke about the potential for economic and trade cooperation between Iran and Russia, particularly in light of the current situation.

Representatives from 70 Iranian and 300 Russian firms from a variety of industries, including technology, petrochemicals, medicine, and the food industry, met and negotiated face to face.

In an interview with TASS, Jalali had stated that: "As regards banking and financial cooperation, officials from the banking sphere of two countries are in constant contact with each other. A personal meeting of officials of the two countries is planned in the near future to solve possible problems.”

On Monday, a 70-member Iranian delegation had visited Moscow, Russia's capital, to strengthen commercial relations and hold economic negotiations.

Cement, aquaculture, food industry and shoe industry, apparel, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, academics, and other industries are represented by the Iranian delegation.
