TEHRAN: Polish Economy Minister Janusz Piechocinski says his country is prepared to triple its trade with Iran next year.
“Polish companies are ready to expand all-out ties with their Iranian partners,” he said on the sidelines of a meeting with Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture Chairman Mohsen Jalalpour in Tehran on Saturday.
The Iran-Poland joint chamber of commerce will be established by the end of 2015, the Polish official added.
Meanwhile, Tehran-Warsaw direct flights will be launched by mid-2016, he noted.
Jalalpour, for his part, expressed hope that exchanging trade delegations could expedite the expansion of bilateral economic relations.
The two countries have high potentials to cooperate in vehicle, oil, gas, agriculture, and medicine industries, he added.
The Polish minister is accompanied by a host of business delegates representing the automotive industry, energy industry, construction and mining. The 60-strong group is scheduled to attend trade panels on bilateral collaboration.
Meanwhile, the key area of interest to Poland is the food sector. “The business trip is also to pave the way for a permanent platform for future economic contacts and consultations between Warsaw and Tehran.”
Piechocinski is to sign an agreement on the foundation of an intergovernmental Polish-Iranian committee.
