A meeting of the industry ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states will be held in Tehran later this year, announced the head of the Organization for Investment, Economic and Technical Assistance of Iran (OIETAI).
Speaking at the 8th Working Group of Investment of SCO member states, Ali Fekri noted that organizing the first prestigious economic event of the organization indicates the political will of Iran for the advancement of the programs of the organization, according to Tasnim News Agency.
The deputy minister of economy expressed hope that the country would use the high capacities and potential of the organization.
The OIETAI is ready, in addition to introducing investment opportunities, to cooperate with the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, in line with materializing mutual economic objectives, Fekri emphasized.
Accordingly, an expert-level meeting will be held at Pardis Science and Technology Park, he added.
The more social and economic bonds are strengthened among member states of the organization, the more the concept of unilateralism will be mitigated, the official continued.
