Delegation from Uzbekistan Arrives in Shiraz to Attend Industrial Exhibition

A trade delegation from the Republic of Uzbekistan has arrived in southern Iranian Fars province in a bid to boost bilateral economic cooperation and attend an industrial exhibition dubbed ‘Shiraz Electex 2025.’

The 14-member delegation, consisting of officials and private sector activists from Surkhandarya, most southerly province of Uzbekistan, was welcomed by senior officials, including the Director General of Fars Industry, Mining and Trade, upon its arrival in Shiraz on Monday evening.

Reflecting on the delegation, CEO of Fars International Exhibition Company Mohsen Nahavandi called it a practical step towards expanding economic and industrial cooperation between Iran and Uzbekistan, adding that visiting the largest industrial event is at the top of the delegation's agenda.

Nahavandi also referred to the successful trip last month by senior Uzbek officials and said that the latest visit will help bring Iran’s Fars and Uzbekistan’s Surkhandarya closer, in terms of economy and trade.

He also talked about the importance of ‘Shiraz Electex 2025,’ saying the international exhibition of industrial automation, industrial electricity and related equipment can create new opportunities for investment and development of industrial interactions between Iran and Uzbekistan.

Known as the “Specialized Exhibition of the Electrical Industry” in Fars Province, which opens on Tuesday, is considered one of the most efficient pathways for industry stakeholders to grow their business and enter new markets at various levels. - IRNA
