The event featured books and handicrafts that highlighted Iran’s cultural and historical sites, as well as its natural beauty, IRNA wrote.
Iran’s cultural attaché in Kazakhstan, Ali Akbar Talebi Matin, emphasized the importance of boosting tourism between the two countries.
Talebi Matin called for canceling visa requirements for travelers between Iran and Kazakhstan, saying it would be a great opportunity for citizens of both countries to plan their next tourist destination.
The tourism exhibition, which included participants from Turkmenistan, India, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, and Portugal, aimed to promote cultural exchange and tourism between the countries.
Iran’s pavilion at the exhibition featured various books and handicrafts that introduced visitors to the country’s rich cultural heritage.
Talebi Matin pointed out that despite the many tourist attractions in both Iran and Kazakhstan, people from both countries still lack a deep understanding of each other’s cultures.
To address this, Talebi Matin suggested organizing tourist tours between the two countries. He noted that a successful tour was launched last year from the Kazakh city of Aktau to Iran, which attracted a significant number of Iranian tourists.
Talebi Matin emphasized the need for continued cooperation between the tourism ministries of Kazakhstan and Iran. He invited people from Kazakhstan and other participating countries to visit Iran and explore its diverse tourist attractions, including historical sites, artistic and handicrafts, music, traditional food, and natural wonders.
The event was part of a larger effort to promote tourism and cultural exchange between the participating countries.
