Tehran:The head of the Iran-Qatar joint chamber has confirmed that despite regional developments and prevailing trade restrictions, the commercial exchanges between Iran and Qatar have continued unabated in recent months, with goods being exported directly and without interruption.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Khorshid Gazderazi stated that Iran's exports to Qatar include a variety of products such as foodstuffs, fruits, vegetables, construction materials, and mineral products. He noted that approximately 70 to 75 refrigerated containers are being shipped daily from Bushehr Province.

Gazderazi highlighted the potential benefits of leveraging private-sector capacities and organizing specialized exhibitions to enhance trade cooperation with neighboring and target export countries. He mentioned that Iran's exports to Qatar have remained active over the past three to four months.

He also noted that certain goods, including vehicles and container shipments, have entered through the ports of Hormuzgan and Bushehr provinces, but the volume has not yet met a significant portion of the country's import needs. Gazderazi emphasized that Qatar serves as one of the few routes where Iran's exchanges are conducted directly without intermediaries.

Furthermore, he underscored the importance of trade exhibitions, suggesting that the participation of Iranian companies in such events can help showcase the country's production capabilities, identify new buyers, and expand the market for Iranian products.
