Iran’s ambassador to Oman Ali Najafi said on Friday that Iran-Oman trade has reached a record 1.3 billion dollars.
Ali Najafi said that during the last Iranian year which ended on March 20 Iran’s exports to Oman were worth 716 million dollars, while imports from Oman were worth 619 million dollars, the highest record in the two countries’ trade exchanges.
The Iranian diplomat said that despite the US sanctions and the limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic Iran is now witnessing a 100 percent rise in bilateral trade volume with Oman.
“Friendly and neighborly ties between Iran and Oman have paved the path for evermore expansion of economic and business transactions,” he added.
Ambassador Najafi further noted that among Iran’s neighboring countries Oman ranks 6th in importing goods from Iran and among the Persian Gulf littoral countries it is currently the second country.
