Iran to launch direct shipping line to West Africa: TPO

Iran will launch direct a shipping line to West Africa, announced the head of the Trade Promotion Organization (TPO) on Friday adding that his organization has plans to increase the number of commercial attachés in the African continent from three to 14 during the current Iranian year (to end March 20, 2025).
Speaking at the Second International Economic Conference of Iran and Africa in Tehran, Mehdi Zeyghami noted that Iran hosts representatives from over 30 African states, ISNA reported.
“The economy of Iran and many African countries complement each other, so it is possible to make a leap in trade relations through free bilateral trade,” the TPO head said.
The two sides lack information on trade potentials of trade markets of Iran and Africa, he criticized expressing his hope to eliminate the barriers through the Tehran meeting and the Iran Expo 2024 exhibition as well as other planned meetings.
Iran has launched a regular shipping line to East and North Africa, Zeyghami said noting that according to a directive by President Ebrahim Raisi during his visit to Algeria, the establishment of a shipping line to West Africa has also been put on the agenda.
