BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 7. Strategic and
promising programs must be regulated to develop Iran's free trade
zones for regional and international competitiveness, Iranian
President Masoud Pezeshkian said at the commissioning ceremony of
facilities in Iran's free trade and industrial zones today,
Trend reports.
According to him, without any scientific and expert program for
each free trade and industrial zone of Iran based on competition
with the world's successful free trade zones, Iran will eventually
lag behind international processes.
Pezeshkian emphasized that steering the development process of
free trade and industrial zones in the right direction is crucial.
The growth of free trade and industrial zones ought to fall under
the umbrella of a regional vision. Having a bright idea and a
vision rooted in cutting-edge technologies, along with a solid and
strategic framework, he delineated, can pave the way for clear
opportunities in any free trade and industrial zone.
The Iranian president added that opportunities should be created
in free trade zones based on environmental protection, green
energy, and solar panels. He expressed hope for the creation of all
opportunities in the development of free trade and industrial zones
and their contribution to the country's development.
Currently, operational capabilities have been established under
the auspices of 27 initiatives across five free trade zones in
Iran, with an investment of approximately 132 trillion rials
(around $105 million) allocated for this purpose.
