The meeting, focused on ‘non-oil exports,’ was attended by Mehran Fatemi, Governor of Yazd, along with provincial deputies, general managers, and private sector leaders. Discussions centered on Yazd’s foreign trade, its relations with Germany, and the crucial role of the German-Iranian Chamber in advancing trade ties between the two countries.

A joint meeting between the Board of Directors of the German-Iranian Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the Board of Representatives of the Yazd Chamber of Commerce was also held.

Additionally, the German-Iranian Chamber’s table was set to be established in the location of the Yazd Chamber to facilitate cooperation.

The president of the German-Iranian Chamber of Industry and Commerce described the meeting as a starting point for further cooperation, stating: “We aim to increase communication with the provinces. Given that Yazd is one of Iran’s key industrial provinces and has produced outstanding entrepreneurs, it was a natural choice for one of our initial destinations to expand relations. The ties between Iran and Germany have historically been friendly and close, with political issues unable to disrupt our strong commercial relations. Today, we are here to strengthen these ties with mutual support and to enhance the connection between Iranian and German industries. As the oldest and largest joint chamber, the German-Iranian Chamber will stand alongside the Yazd Chamber, utilizing all available capacities to achieve our shared goals through joint cooperation.”

Mojtaba Dastmalchian, President of the Yazd Chamber, remarked: “One of our main priorities is to address the issues faced by businessmen in both countries. We need to work together to remove these barriers and simplify the path for business activities. The establishment of the Iran-Germany joint room table in Yazd represents a significant step forward in strengthening our economic cooperation.”

Seyed Faraz Jebelli, CEO of the German-Iranian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, described the meeting as an excellent opportunity to foster further cooperation. He stated: “This is a valuable chance to identify existing strengths and capacities and to plan for future collaboration.” Jebelli also addressed and clarified various issues faced by Iranian economic activists in their communications with German businessmen.
