Envoy: Africans Satisfied with Iranian Products
Ivory Coast Ambassador to Iran Tamakulu Vatara said Africans are satisfied with the Iran-made products as the products of other countries suffer lack of suitable quality.
"Investors from various countries are present in Ivory Coast, but Iranian companies' presence is low-profile while the people welcome Iranian products due to their high quality," he said in a meeting with Head of Kashan Chamber of Commerce Mahmoud Tavallaei on Saturday.
Vatara, meantime, expressed the hope that the number of Iranian companies would invest in the African country.
Referring to his visit to Machine-Made Carpet Exhibition in Kashan, he said that he was impressed by the good works on display and African market is open to the Iranian market.
"There are 15 countries in West Africa and Ivory Coast is the gateway to them and therefore it creates suitable grounds for investments," Vatara said.
Tavallaei, for his part, said that Tehran-Abidjan ties have the potential for further improvement, as the western Africa possesses numerous opportunities.
In a relevant development in December 2018, an Ivory Coast official specialized in Muslim merchants' affairs, Mamadou Doumbia announced that merchants from Ivory Coast were eager for extensive cooperation with Iran.
Doumbia made the remarks in his meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Ivory Coast Mansour Shakibmehr, placing special emphasis on the cooperation of economic activists of the two countries.
In the meeting, the two sides discussed various issues in the field of bilateral cooperation in trade and economic sectors.
He further called on economic activists of the two countries of Iran and Côte d'Ivoire to take effective steps in line with strengthening business activities.
