PMO News Portal - Regarding the country's export development
strategies, especially through ports and also to the destinations of target
countries, including Eurasia, Mohammad Ali Asl Saeedipoor stated that Eurasian
countries are of great importance for our country and can be a new gateway to
neutralize the effects of sanctions on Iran's economy.
Internal and external factors play a role in developing the
country's exports through ports, including facilitating trade and export laws,
reviewing customs tariffs and consolidating tariffs, reducing the number of authoritative
devices involved in exports and facilitating foreign exchange allocation
processes, Saeedipoor added.
Saeedipour further stressed the need to recommend and
emphasize on the investment of economic actors in the country's ports, noting:
Attracting private sector investment is one of the priorities of the Ports and
Maritime Organization and Amirabad port. Due to the close economic competition
in land and sea, appropriate tariffs should be considered to attract goods and
ships, which is one of the most important factors affecting the development of
exports.
Redesigning and reviewing the facilitation and acceleration
of operational processes, along with providing the necessary facilities, will
enable us to have proper activities in the field of exports and imports, especially
to Eurasian countries, Director General of Amirabad Ports and Maritime office
concluded.
