Iran (IMNA) - Chang announced the changes at a meeting on Saturday with Mohammad Sadeq Motamedian, the governor of West Azarbaijan, a region in northwest Iran, according to IRNA.
In the fields of international trade with Europe, mining, and the exchange of knowledge in environmental protection, he said there are many potentials for collaboration with West Azarbaijan Province.
The ambassador went on to say that a deal had been signed to increase commerce between China and Europe via Iran and that it was possible to accomplish this by utilizing the Silk Road and West Azarbaijan Province's resources.
Given Iran's fantastic tourist attractions, he claimed Beijing and Tehran might increase their tourism cooperation.
West Azarbaijan Province, according to Motamedian, may be seen as Iran's gateway to Europe and has "very considerable" capabilities in the area of foreign commerce.
The representative outlined how goods from East Asia may be transported to Europe through the railway network that runs through West Azarbaijan and connects to Turkey and Europe.
According to him, moving Chinese commodities to Europe via the Chabahar route to Maku (in West Azerbaijan) would result in lower prices and a shorter transit time.
"Best access to Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea" is also a feature of West Azarbaijan Province that may be leveraged to enhance commercial cooperation, according to Motamedian.
The governor mentioned other benefits that may be leveraged to strengthen collaboration with China, such as "a number of rich mines" and "capabilities in agriculture and tourism."
Iran's top trading partner is China. Different degrees of illegitimate US sanctions are applied to both nations.
They have cultivated strong connections in recent years, especially after the United States unilaterally left the 2015 nuclear agreement in 2018 and re-imposed sanctions on Iran's economy.
The two countries attempted to solidify their long-standing economic and political connection by signing the historic 25-year collaboration agreement in March 2021.
The agreement was revealed in 2016 while Chinese President Xi Jinping was in Tehran. For the next 25 years, it lays out the general framework for China and Iran's collaboration in the fields of politics, culture, security, defense, and international relations.
