why such an institution as a representative office of the chamber of commerce and industry? tions of the chambers of commerce and industry of our countries, following the results of the meeting we were once again convinced that in terms of the development of trade and economic cooperation there is great unrealized potential, thirdly, we worked at one of the leading international exhibitions in the field of food and ingredients food industry prodex , this was in 2023 and twenty -four, we saw that the business circles of both sides felt the need for... mutual contacts. what else do you remember about the past week? about the reaction to the revocation of a license from kiwibank. its registration was immediately canceled by the national bank of kyrgyzstan. in uzbekistan, a number of banks reported that they were suspending work with the contact service. similar news from tajikistan. now clients are offered to use alternative transfer systems. but qiwi kazakhstan reassured holders of tenge wallets. no restrictions. do not apply to them. the kyrgyz parliament passed the second rea

and an office of the chamber of commerce and industry of kyrgyzstan opened in moscow.ve office will contribute to the development of trade and economic relations between the countries. here entrepreneurs will be able to make new contacts. and resolve pressing issues. the opening of a representative office of the chamber of commerce and industry of kyrgyzstan in moscow is certainly a significant event. in general, how active is the exchange of business missions between russia and kyrgyzstan now? first of all, it should be noted that in general russia is one of the key trading partners kyrgyzstan. at the end of the twenty- second year, the foreign trade turnover of the kyrdyz republic with the russian federation reached its record level. and amounted to 3.5 billion us dollars. thanks to efforts to increase trade and economic cooperation, at the end of the twenty-third year, russia ranks second in trade turnover, which is about 18.7% of the total trade turnover of the kurdiz republic after china. in the twenty-third year, in cooperation with the russian side , over 20 bus

chamber of economics. you came to the 3rd chamber of commerce. you came to the 4th chamber of commerce. what is the 4th? it was the accounts court commission at that time. how many commissions did we have in the 4th and 4th of this merger? it has happened now. at that time, there was no merger. the same commission of the court of accounts was merged with the budget program commission . later, the following courses, but i remember at that time. that the number of commissions was twice the current situation and the number of people in the commissions was very limited, for example, 10 to 12 people were not included in the commissions, the same 270 people were in the so-called average of 12 people in the commissions after the fourth parliament, what happened then? you did the first thing you did in connection with the performance. the experience of these three periods showed me that, so to speak, we have almost reached the so-called sufficiency in legislation. i felt that finally we and therefore i decided to go to the executive issues , but in order to solve the fact that i do not have any responsibility i

pedram soltani, vice president of the chamber of commerce of industries, mines and agriculture of iran. transfer tracking risk. iran's foreign currency is raised by the sanctioning countries with the launch of the currency exchange, and knowing this information, they have blocked the money transfer routes, and hence the problems and disadvantages of the launch of the exchange. currency becomes more than its benefits. haider meghrebin hosseini, the former deputy of the central bank of iran , monetary and financial policies in our economy do not have logic and standards. therefore, there is no point in setting up a currency exchange at the moment, and a currency exchange should not be set up. if the land exchange is considered as a future market, considering that the currency supplier in iran is the government, not only does it not help to control the market, but there is a possibility of corruption in it. yes, we saw the report together , sir well, i am very happy that all the opponents of their words are from our dear opposite sex they say that we should have a land exchange, but now w

hossein salimi, president of iran- afghanistan chamber of commerce. the establishment of the land exchange will eliminate brokerage in the currency market, which is very problematic. it is important and remarkable. when a stock is bought on an exchange, there are rules that oblige the seller to fulfill obligations. another advantage is that i have certain conditions for the money that i am going to give to someone and i am not sure if he will give me an offer in return or not . mustafa safari, capital market expert. log in the width of the working capital market is completely expert and correct. government collection. next, transparency is chosen as a solution to the currency crisis, and from now on, every rate setting takes into account supply and demand using stock market mechanisms. pedram soltani, vice president of the chamber of commerce of industries, mines and agriculture of iran. the risk of tracking iran's foreign currency transfers by the sanctioning countries increases with the launch of the currency exchange, and knowing this information, t

believe the mail-in ballot situation has to be addressed, no id. >> you're blaming it on the chamber of commerce. >> national. >> you're blaming chamber of commerce folks, this was coming out of the senate. it had the chance of passing the senate, obviously didn't get out of the senate after donald trump weighed in. if had that not occurred it's possible it could have come to the house after that. isn't trump ready to blame? he has brag blame me and his responsibility why this didn't pass, why it died. >> pass the house. mike johnson said it was dead on arrival. he didn't have to take it up, sort of like hr2 we passed months ago you well know is sitting in the senate waiting for the democrat leadership to bring it up, been there for months we felt would have solved the border crisis. it's both sides. in this bill they didn't do it with everybody's input. it was a closed door meeting, you had lobbyists, a few key senators. to me, that's no way to pass legislation. i like to get everybody at the table and that's the way you pass meaningful legislation. the days of cramming stuff down people's thro

the chamber of commerce and industry of kyrgyzstan will join forces with the belarusian one.

we have many big and small ones, and the chamber of commerce has different forms of activity for the members of the chamber. they operate in the field of export and import . the innateness of all three rooms has established a specialized potential for years , how can we tie these together is the task. i told this literature that the capacity of the chamber of commerce is focused on the issue of export , investment, capitalization in the international field , import issues, practically, maybe we can say that. the priority of the operation of the union of small and large cooperatives does not matter, or even the cooperative chambers have been focused on the national sector until now and not on the sector, which means that it does not have the so-called export and international sector. trade has been exported, i would like to inform you that there are thousands of cooperatives in the form of active production and export from the iran cooperative chamber, and this capacity needs more support and development. they are very strong and capable groups that they have , anyway, with very diffic

the supervision, and they have entrusted this to the chamber of guilds with the memorandum of understanding, that is, the bazistan chamber of commerce. yes, the snuff room is one of the monitoring arms, and it used to be like this when we had enough to monitor the transactions of the shops. it went back to its original place and it took over a few years ago . of course, now the monitoring of the line is supposed to be done, if i wanted it at all. i ask this, really monitoring means it is possible to monitor for this market , the bottom of which is not known. the monitoring of this concept, which has been in place until now, and to enter a store by accident , to enter a store, to enter a factory, to see that there has not been a robbery, is an expensive sale. no, this is really meaningless, it means that it will have no result. in the end , if one of the hundred , for example, causes the store to adjust its price, it will be approved, and these are only online monitoring that will be responsible. right now , see how much this monitoring is on the level jat factories at the level of major stores, considering that there is a comprehens

officials of the business commission of iran chamber of commerce in a meeting with economic activistsexamined their problems in sports. what is this pharmacy doing other than treating if i can do prevention? the iranian chamber of commerce hosted economic activists in sports for the first time. for the first time in the country , sports businesses have been coded through the association. it is related to the discussion of the country's employment center, where the library was also established. removal of tax exemption. the club is one of the most important concerns of these economic activists. sports work it's not just sports. it is sports clothes. it is a sports shoe. there is a whistle. all these jobs are creating a sports club. a turnover. due to the importance of sports for everyone, we should be able to somehow include the expenses related to sports in the household basket. if the costs go up. in a systematic way, sports may be removed from the lives of many people , which is certainly not intended by anyone. here , the definition of professional clubs is different from everyone

the claim a bear of commerce -- chamber of commerce, whose head is very close to trump, said a pass the bill. any objective observer who cares about this country, its security, its future said pass the bill. but not our republican colleagues. not our republican colleagues. they kept moving the dates back. just get it done by christmas. oh, christmas, we need more time. lindsey graham said we need a delay of christmas and get the president involved. we delayed til christmas, we got the president involved, still voting no. still voting no. and if in december senator fischer said democrats only support international aid a, what they won't support is basic border security. we are told that a our own border security is not related to this national security. that's absurd. we agreed with her, we needed it. no vote and she -- they're all voting no even on the motion to pree.d they don't even want to debate border. they don't even want to debate ukraine and aid to israel and humanitarian aid a to the palestinians. when president trump came along and said he didn't want to solve the border probl

. >> there is a new poll released by the chamber of commerce, one of the first of the election season offering a glimpse into what voters think about the issue in the city. for the mayor, seeking re- election, the results are murky. the poll did not ask voters about her or the mayor's challengers it asked voters in san francisco is headed in the right or the wrong direction. 72% of the people said wrong. but the president of the chamber of commerce says that is better than it was two years ago. >> traditionally the sentiment is that san francisco is not going in the right direction. however, this year, people are optimistic about san francisco. >> the results are better for the 3 ballot measures that the player is sponsoring. prop c, making it easier to convert office space to other uses, nearly two thirds support prop e and f, e loses restrictions on police pursuits, f, requires drug screening for people needing cash assistance from the city. >>> 66 people died from accidental drug overdoses in january. that is up from 53 the month before. city health leaders say that even though the

whose fingerprints are on this, i think it's these national chambers of commerce. they want free or cheap labor. people who won't have insurance, no representation and when they fall off a dad gum building or hurt themselves when cleaning a motel room, guess what, they're not going to come back against the business owner. i think clearly that's whose fingerprints are on this. jake, yes, sir. >> let's focus on the immigration part. i think it was a republican in the senate to combine it with the israel aid and ukraine aid. you just said it allows 5,000 people illegal immigrants into the country. what they say is when the average number of crossings exceeds 5,000 people a week, everyone crossing illegally every day is rapidly deported out of the country without an asylum screening. so they're saying it's a trigger. it doesn't let in 5,000. it says 5,000 encounters, which is not the same as 5,000 people let into this country. triggers an immediate deportation of everyone. >> well, it should be zero encounters. we should not be allowing anybody into our country. now, d

seems by what happened yesterday, the republicans, even though we have to do something, the chamber of commerce and the border patrol in the wall street journal editorial page said before is a just don'te have the back bone, the guts, the spine to resist the branding of trump even though they know he is wrong and [inaudible] >> as i said, we will vote on the bill tomorrow. the bill that has been for us. we will move further forward. tuned. >> house republicans were essentially shut out. they will deal with their own senate. >> the wisdom of what we did has shown that speaker johnson has just listen to donald trump time and in timeout. there would be no bill if speaker johnson continue to listen to d president trump and that isor all he has done. >> do you have a plan if the secretary is impeached in the house and senate? >> let's see what the house first does. let's see what the house first does. >> would you move to dismiss? >> let's first see what the house does. we will have a fair amendment process. no leader, i did more in my two years, we did more amendments in the four years of the trump

chamber of commerce has endorsed this bill. when i think about some of those who argue -- and republicans have openly said in congress if they pass this bill, it's a get out of jail free card for president biden, or help him in the election -- it reminded me of how silly and unpatriotic a group of democrats would sound for a republican president were to pass gun reform legislation in an election year, and democrats in congress and the senate would say we can't allow this woman, who would be president of the united states, because she's a republican, to pass this bill, because it's going to help her get elected in the fall. i would be a democrat saying you're crazy. we fought for this for a long time. the greatest advocates for border reform and border security have been around this table, and have been around our country, including a lot of republicans. i think for republicans in congress to deny their constituents, to deny the american people an open debate about this on the house floor and senate floor, i think is an abominati

senate supported a border bill that very conservative groups including border patrol agents and chamber of commerce for four. to hold up ukraine which he admitted was a national imperative because he can't do something else was a non sequitur. there was no logic. there is a logic to solving the border. we want to solve it but we have to do ukraine because there is no way that can get done quickly because that needs bipartisan consensus. we are happy to work on it to get it done but not hold up the ukraine bill for it. >> i want to thank president biden for convening us. it was an intense meeting, and honest meeting and ultimately, a productive meeting. we discussed three issues the need to avoid a government shutdown and to fund the government so we can address the needs of the american people in terms of their health and safety. we are making progress on the appropriations bill that are scheduled to lapse on march 1. i am cautiously optimistic we can do what is necessary to close down these bills and avoid a government shutdown. it may be important to come to an agreement that is bipartisan and an
