Forum to Survey Trade, Investment Opportunities in Eurasian Economic Union

A forum entitled “Eurasian Economic Union: A Bridge to Free Trade with the World” is scheduled to be held in the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Conference Center located in Tehran on Aug. 20.
The event, jointly organized by the Trade Training Center of the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Trade, Persian Gulf Studies Center and the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, will focus on surveying trade and investment opportunities in the Eurasian Economic Union.
Iran and EEU signed a three-year provisional agreement in Astana, Kazakhstan, on May 17, 2018, for the bloc to welcome Iran into EEU. The arrangement, which lowers or abolishes customs duties, is the first step toward implementing free trade between Iran and five members of the union.
