it is not for you in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful. hello and good night, dear viewers of khabar ta'at channel. happy new year . let us mention some of these cases, for example

, the theories created by experts predict that this year, 1403, will be a busy year for good luck with our country's foreign trade. in any case, to review the performance of the government in the field of foreign trade last year and the plans it will have for its development this year, we invited mr. aizeh ghami, honorable deputy minister and chairman of the organization, to attend tonight 's front page program. business development that. greetings to you. welcome to the new year . in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful . i congratulate you on the new year and inshallah your prayers will be accepted. thank you very much . one let's see a report and come back and start our conversation with qomi, the 13th government last year in connection with foreign trade. achievements such as

joining some regional and global organizations and signing free and preferential trade agreements with some important countries have been achieved. one of the cases we were working on is membership in regional and extra-regional coalitions that the islamic republic can play a role with its high capacity. about regional organizations , iran's permanent official membership in the shanghai cooperation organization, july 13, 140.

this membership was officially realized from another iran's successes regarding regional organizations are the signing of the free trade agreement with the eurasian economic union on the 5th of december 1402. it is one of the most important business events of the country in the last 40 years. the most important thing that was really done was this agreement. see the first agreement. the regional free trade of the islamic republic in the area of ​​signing commercial contracts, the agreement to restore free trade with syria was also signed during the president's visit to this country in may last year, after several negotiations that were held in the past years and were postponed by the president's orders again. it was revived, 80 product groups were added and signed between the two ministers june 1402 also agreed. preferential trade with indonesia

has been conducted in the field of trade for more than 17 years between indonesians regarding preferential tariffs . unresolved during this trip, we reached a conclusion and reached an agreement on this 17-year-old discussion that had not been resolved. a preferential trade agreement was signed with uzbekistan in february 1402. free trade negotiations with pakistan also continued. we are agreeing on the lists. and we are very optimistic that if the pakistani side also cooperates, we will be able to conclude this issue very soon , god willing. there are several on the agenda negotiations have been made on trade with cuba , active political and economic diplomacy can

play an effective role in realizing the jump in production. in the report , what were the other important actions of 2014 in the field of foreign trade? yes , i would like to tell you that it can be said that the most important action that the organization and the government is doing now is facilitating trade for economic operators, which comes from actually providing such infrastructure . one of the most important, in my opinion , is the iran expo program the export capabilities of the islamic republic of iran in march it was held last year, it was the fifth exhibition, but actually, since it started in 1990, some efforts were made, but in fact , it was the first exhibition of this size and scope, and we invited more than 1,200 businessmen from 70 countries to come to iran and

some there were some challenges from the authorities , but alhamdulillah, it was a good result. this year is actually the second very big event that is happening at the same time. well, i think there is one point that many foreign partners say, we should we must be consistent in our procedure when we visit foreign authorities we were actually telling them about this year, they were wondering if it is going to happen again, which means that maybe they think that iran wants to implement such a program for once, stability in export trends and basically such infrastructures that can help a lot. and facilitate your work process. jaro can include iran in the fixed programs of global international events. this can be very effective. the discussion between iran and africa was of course carried out in march 1401 and was supposed to be held in march last year, but for our reasons we preferred that the discussion between iran and africa be held. that one program

it is very important, friends, to remind you that many countries in the world have started regular programs with the african union unions, now what about the regional unions, the entire african union and the african continent? we were a little behind in this, maybe 20 or 30 years, from the field of working with africa , and we also started this, and the first practical program between iran and the african union, god willing , will be held on the 7th of may, one day before the iran expo exhibition, and foreign officials officials of african countries are present in this program and practically the next day with their delegations in the exhibition they participate, which is a very big event . in fact, we have to try to make it happen. look at iran's export capacities, because many countries have no potential at all. in iran , there is potential, that is, the industrial capacity , agricultural knowledge, even the petrochemical fields of steel. we have a very high potential. the important thing is how we can convey this to the people and the country. let

us show that it is because of the very negative propaganda against iran . the opportunity it is very good when common people get to know all the processes and technologies of iran in an exhibition, when we take pavilions abroad in important international exhibitions, which is a very important and correct work, and we did this this year in 1402. we have equaled the size with last year , we focused on some markets such as africa , latin america, east asia, but in that foreign exhibition, we have a maximum of 120,300 meters pavilion, and some general businessmen and foreign officials with all the capabilities of the country now in six or seven industrial and agricultural areas are known

it can be very effective. well, it was said, look at these examples of the process that he said, of the cases that he said , it shows the process . we have actually signed it, we are sending it to the parliament through the government delegation, or what has been sent is on the page for review. well, this is a very big task. this volume of work is to implement it and implement the agreements. as an important actor, he can have a lot of role, an example i am at your service next to the iran expo exhibition . well, last year, the meeting of the prime ministers of the member countries was held in shanghai, and we realized that it has been two years

since we have been active . foreign with we have corresponded with more than 100 countries, the dimensions of the project are much bigger, i told you that our limitation in

this, because i have said it several times, i will repeat it here , our limitation in further implementation of this project is limited to the city of tehran, the limitation of hotels and urban infrastructure , which we have from 2500 we can't bring more business people, otherwise we will start with this work and this alhamdulillah, the planning that is being done is very good. the exhibition is like this, based on iranian companies , we are using the maximum capacity of the exhibition that we have in the country, more than 800 of our good export companies are present in this exhibition from six or seven industrial fields from abroad, only traders. although foreign countries are very requested to have pavilions, next time, god willing, by increasing the capacity of the exhibition infrastructure, we will be able to reach 200,000 square meters

, we will be able to host other countries and pavilions there are also other countries, but at the moment , only officials and businessmen from foreign countries have not decided on the direction of visits and interactions with pavilion . no , we were not able to do so this year. domestic businessmen and for participating in this exhibition, i said too much , maybe more than 200 requests , which countries are our future potentials, like our priorities, and we have planned for them a union like africa, east asia, etc. after the expo, what is your plan then?

before the program of foreign traders of iranian companies they see and so to speak, they book the time at once , they can express themselves in a program, a space provided for this purpose can be formed without you, the reality of this space. let's cover all dimensions. this year, we put a team in place to be able to count the contracts. we checked that out of 150 of the 1,300 people who answered, a significant number was said. billion dollar contract. it has been closed since last year's exhibition, but out of that, about 13,50

people came to announce their contracts , for example, we reached a contract of about 450 million dollars. i said that those who are willing to disclose from foreign parties with, for example, close to one million dollars , that is, according to you, one billion dollars is one billion dollars. one thing has been implemented and... as a start, in one year, this program should happen within four to five years. look at a company that is coming and this happened . they came with a potential to get to know each other. coming to the next specialized exhibition and negotiating in fact, they should change the expression of other countries and enter into an interaction from iran and procure goods or get services . well, firstly, it may be time for them to actually change the taste of their own market . we will reach 2 billion dollars, and the final contract of 450 million dollars will be announced for the sector

, except for the petrochemical sector, which because it was sanctioned, many companies did not announce the number. it is significant, our perception is that with each year the improvement of this situation and the improvement of the business quality they have between this number in the form of an index and how much is your forecast this year. i think it is at least 2 billion, but i believe that the 2 billion you said is in 5 years, not for 140d and the iran 143 exhibition and the african summit. we have invited them and they are participating in this program and we have a special program to visit iran's industrial centers and large powerful iranian companies

. well , we could not coordinate this program last year . contracts and sales contracts can lead to very well because now, one of the important events in the last year was the official membership in shanghai and brics. can you tell us what capacities this membership creates for us in the field of foreign trade? yes, an important point is that, after all, we are traditionally limited trading partners. some of them are neighbors and some of them are several big countries. we used to be a big european traditional importer, but now it has changed to some countries in the eastern region, or there has been a change in the destination, but the fact is that

we work commercially and in terms of the export volume and the countries we have. i'm sorry, i have a question. the moment i forgot brics and shahen, the countries that are in brics and shanghai, well, in terms of what it is , shanghai is kind of like nato, it is more of a defense regional pact, and brics is a system similar to g7 , it is more commercial and economic, so we are also in we have become more economically active in brics , we use programs there and the programs that exist, and i said that iran is becoming more active in the events and programs that are there, the business meetings that are there with the countries that are there, but the commercial approach of brics

is much stronger. this is the first very new event for the country, we actually have this. we practice in shankai , we are taking advantage of the opportunity of these countries. this iran can be very effective in this program that we can gradually add partners and countries that were not among our main partners before.

unit and have a unit width and create a security structure, this is a great opportunity for us. to run several programs and many in this case they are acting fast, what does this single currency mean , that they can practically de-dollarize a system , there is no agreement on its width, it is being discussed, i said that the issue has been raised through several countries and is being discussed, but there is almost an agreement on the settlement system. an emergency system should be formed between the countries, but i said that these issues are not urgent issues. it is a long-term negotiation and these countries should define their systems . i said that it is not just an agreement. when a business is formed and an agreement is made , then the customs and standard organizations should be followed. countries structure. chambers of commerce and the original rules should be expressed and form this structure with each other , and then they will approve this and that in the councils, after that, they will implement this in their executive structure, well, this

will take time. a tariff structural system or a single width structure or a clearing system between these big countries of the bir area will definitely take time, and for example you said now bey syed , now, for example, it will be almost a few years. about 5 years from now, at most 56 years from now, i said , we can synchronize the plans for that next year let's be honest, we have just joined, but we have started the programs , we are actively present in the brics programs, in its various meetings , which are the review of the same capacities . we should announce our own plans and not just implement the announcements or things that are approved there. very well , there was also a discussion about the free trade agreement with eurasia, which was signed by nine parties, but the parliaments of the countries should approve it.

do you know the status of its approval in our parliament now? if you look at how it is in the other five countries, well, it was in the clip that was broadcast, this is the most important business event of the country and the country's commercial agreement in the last 40-50 years and the first experience of iran to enter a free tariff system well, we always took some distance from this to enter this space, and finally we came to this summary of the country. alhamdulillah , we entered this space and chose the best countries to start with . please explain this free tariff system. the free tariff system that is included in it defines that you must pay at least 80 take the percentage of your goods and set it at zero and if if it is below 80, in practice that free trade will not take place, the two sides will choose a list from two countries and the method will be

discussed. 99, which was later agreed that this will go towards free trade, and in trade , we prefer to choose product groups, and both sides agree to, for example, halve or reduce by 30% relative to each other. free trade actually means that we are relative to each other. we could reach an agreement let's make it zero , taking into account the considerations of both sides, but we no longer have anything called prohibited goods in the red list. the red list that exists is actually a tariff system, which again causes you not to import goods from those countries into this country. what do the countries of the asian region have for us? first of all, there is a market of 380 billion dollars and a total of 180 million people. as we are considered a position for them , two, we are almost not a competitor with them, except for russia, which is a somewhat industrialized country, well , it may compete with us in some issues, but...

we may be their competitors, but in many of these countries , we are not considered competitors at all. this supplement can also be very beneficial for us , and we were able to sign it after long negotiations. there is a long list. it is actually signed in english. it should be translated into farsi. we have done this work . it is legal, and the bill is being drafted there as well . because i said it was a very long list and the agreement is not an agreement that can be translated very quickly. legally, it is now in the legal department. he is the president and he is preparing for the 8th god willing, the parliament will pass, and the rule is that you define a number of products and goods , with these countries, yes, they define a number of products that, if they enter our country, will have zero tariffs , that is, without duties and definitions.

they are strong in inputs, we are one of the importers of the institutions, we import a significant amount every year , this is a loss for us, we can import cheaper, if we want , it can have a positive effect on the price of our meat and poultry. right now, the almost zero tariff in the field of meat and poultry is 1 %, but if we want to give some weight to this countries don't make much difference, i said, if we want to give advantage to these countries from now on and increase the number of other countries , but there are some areas, for example , we may need sheets, do we have hot sheets or do we have cold sheets. and we can import from russia at a very reasonable price for the north of the country, and even from the south of the country , we don't want to export, but from the south of the country, for example , sheet metal or some steel products to the north

of the country. or we produce the petrochemicals that we have inside ourselves, we also have these , and we sell them to domestic producers at the global price. for example, if you import it from abroad , it has no effect on the finished price of the product. lower can import when different people can sell exclusive putty instead of one group , other groups can also import this with a lower tariff, it can create space for competitors in domestic petrochemicals, domestic steel , not necessarily on every domestic product, for example, it is possible for petrochemical products within us we should not have too much disadvantage to import and these countries are not producers of sheets. azad and orati, we set the definition to zero . you can import it at a lower price than russia, and you have a

good weakness. it is our own country, well, the price of persian paper is lower than many countries, it is also dumping , we can import and we can create an export capacity for ourselves from the south of the country where we can export. my point was that you should look at this list that the government he did not prepare it himself , he prepared it alone with the cooperation of businessmen who are exporting to these countries and in some product groups, they cannot compete with competing countries because of the tariff system they have. alhamdulillah, we have a good ability to produce, after all, the price of the finished goods in iran is cheaper , we are a good exporter, based on that , many of these product groups have been defined, and those that we have the ability to produce inside the wagon, we put in the red list. for example , it should not be imported from russia because it has a higher definition, but we have the possibility to produce it ourselves and

we can do it with quality. i told him that it is a complex task of two or three years to come up with a list based on the country's needs and maximum productivity. and it will definitely lead to the output . what are the indicators that make us define the products ? for example, whether we should produce them ourselves or not . yes, we have several indicators in the discussion of free trade and preference . the product must be produced in that country at least. it is manufactured inside that country , which must be at least 40%. well, in the past , it was 50%. we corrected this. in some countries , it was 30 %. sit down and the standards i accept the other, for example, when you come to accept that you import this glass from other countries , your organization should go and confirm the standard of that glass, and there is no need for him to come, for example , to get the standard inside iran, you should go and sit down and your standards will actually get stoned

and come and define your customs laws so that your customs systems are in sync with each other so that this challenge does not arise, so these events are side by side that can lead to a suitable outcome, if we do not see these things one by one, we cannot the system is practically a pain in the ass it's been 3 years and there have been many challenges, it's not that we give a list, they accept, masha allah, how many times has the list been closed. in the past year, that is, from january 1401 when they said the list was closed until 1402, how many times did they protest against us again? you can protest the open list in the bag , so this list will be finalized. for example, this agreement is the first program of the indonesian agreement program that is in line to be approved, followed by free trade in syria

. because it was said that we signed, but again we added the list with the approval of the presidents , it became a better number, and it will probably be signed between the ministers again at the iran exhibition, so it is called an amendment.
