A team of entrepreneurs from West Azerbaijan, led by Urmia Chamber of Commerce and Industry Head of Agriculture Commission Behnam Tajodinni, visited the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that his province has great potential to promote cooperation in agriculture sector with Pakistan.

Tajodinni stressed that the agriculture sector of both countries should develop close cooperation to promote bilateral trade of products between Iran and Pakistan.

He said that about 32 Iranian trucks loaded with agriculture products were stuck at the Pakistani border in Balochistan, adding that Pakistan has not officially conveyed the reasons for the stoppage.

Also addressing the delegation, ICCI President Sheikh Amir Waheed said given the size of both the economies, bilateral trade is far below the actual potential.
