Tehran Discussing Reinforcement of Technological Ties With Tashkent

To strengthen technological ties with regional countries, Iran has launched talks with Uzbekistan about establishing a science and technology center in Tashkent, the country's capital city.
Officials from the state-backed Iran National Innovation Fund discussed the initiative with Mostafa Goudarzi, Iran’s commercial counselor in Tashkent, during an online meeting on Sunday, Inif.ir reported. 
According to Marzieh Shavardi, the head of INIF's Empowerment Office, Iran intends to expand tech activities in the target country in the areas of health, advanced materials, herbal medicine and telecommunication infrastructure.
"A tech center in Tashkent can serve as a shared workspace for the two countries' tech teams and companies, as well as a permanent fair for introducing Iranian innovative products to the regional market," she explained.
