Iranian Trade Promotion Organization (TPO), in collaboration with the Iran-Oman Joint Chamber of Commerce, has sent a trade delegation to Oman as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is due to visit the Arab country, the TPO portal reported.

As reported, TPO Head Alireza Peyman-Pak led the 30-member trade-marketing delegation which arrived in Muscat on Monday.
The head of the Export Guarantee Fund of Iran (EGFI) and the deputy head of the Iranian Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) accompany Peyman-Pak on this trip.

The MOU was signed by Iranian Industry, Mining and Trade Minister Reza Fatemi-Amin and Omani Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion Qais bin Mohammed Al Yousef, who co-chaired the joint meeting.

Fatemi-Amin visited Oman’s capital Muscat on top of a high-ranking trade delegation to attend the 19th Iran-Oman Joint Economic Committee meeting which was held during February 8-9.
During his visit, the minister also met Oman's Minister of Foreign Affairs Sayyid Badr Bin Hamad Bin Hamood Al Busaidi to discuss ways for expanding ties between the two countries.
