A 30-member Belgian delegation led by the Secretary of State for Foreign Trade Pieter De Crem and President of the Federation of Belgian Chambers of Commerce and Industry John Stoop were hosted by the head of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, Mohsen Jalalpour, on Saturday. “ICCIMA is ready to enter into joint ventures with the Belgium foundation and use the experience of Belgian companies in textile industry and agriculture,” Donya-e-Eqtesad quoted Jalalpour as saying. Jalalpour also called for further economic exchanges in oil, gas, petrochemical, environmental, water and wastewater treatment sectors. “Skilled workforce is one of the advantages of Iran,” said De Crem, noting that Belgian companies will initiate technology transfer to Iran and boost ties in the fields of shipping, transportation and jewelry, provided they are assured of the security of their investments.
