China’s Port City of Ningbo Hosts Iran’s 2nd Nat’l Pavilion

Iran’s second national pavilion in China was launched in Ningbo, a sub-provincial city in northeast Zhejiang Province, on Saturday.
“Establishded in a 300-square-meter area, the pavilion has been launched with the aim of introducing Iran’s goods and services to promote exports and attract foreign investment,” said Ali Dehqani, Iran’s commercial attaché to Shanghai, IRNA reported.
“The port city of Ningbo has a population of 8 million and is among 15 regions in which the Chinese government has issued permits for the establishment of free trade zones,” he added.
Ningbo is the only free trade zone in Zhejiang Province. It was established by State Council in 1992, covering an area of 2.3 square kilometers. It lies in the middle of the coastline of mainland China, at the southern end of Yangtze River Delta.
According to Dehqani, Ningbo is the world’s fifth top trading port.
