Complementary Economic Capacities
Pabarja pointed to Kazakhstan's economic capacities in areas such as grains, oilseeds, and food products, adding: "Iran also has significant export capabilities in areas like food industries, agricultural and processed products, construction materials, and technical and engineering services." This diversity of capabilities can help expand trade relations between the two countries.
Additionally, with the implementation of the free trade agreement between Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union, new opportunities for the development of trade exchanges have emerged. Effective utilization of the capacities of this agreement can assist in the development of Iran's exports to the member countries of this union, including Kazakhstan.
Pabarja emphasized the necessity of accurately understanding the Kazakh market and establishing direct communication between the economic actors of both countries, adding: "Identifying market needs and selecting products that meet its demand are among the factors that will impact the sustainable development of trade exchanges."
On the other hand, the transportation and logistical capacities between the two countries also provide a suitable opportunity for the development of cooperation in this area. Utilizing the capacities of the Caspian Sea shores and land routes can facilitate trade exchanges and expand economic relations between Iran and Kazakhstan.
