In this connection, Moodoudi cited the Turkish President's pledge to resolve the existing issues, citing another plan by Iran's WTO to negotiate with other countries, especially its neighbors.
He emphasized that, given the country's 13 per cent growth in non-oil exports in the eight months of this year, worth $ 31.5 billion, efforts will be made to maintain this growth by the end of the year.
Modudi announced Iran's WTO program to double the country's export capacity from the current $ 50 billion by defining megaprojects of exporting products in a three-year plan.

Moodoodi added that next year, export incentives of around $ 700 billion have been earmarked for the budget, which, despite the decline this year, is hoped to be allocated so that a clear and long-term plan can be implemented.
He also said rejecting the exit of Group Two and Three from the allocation priority because of the near-term exchange rate to the free rate said priority was still in orbit; And groups two and three are aggregated and defined as one group. "In this consolidation, six priorities are placed on the basis of the essential needs within the country, including the raw materials, equipment and machinery needed, and even the essential items that Nima's currency derived from the export currency belongs to."
Moodoudi cited the lifting of the ban on importing forty-seven items as "in need": a part of the total of 3,000 nine hundred prohibited goods required by the manufacturing sector was to be gradually withdrawn from the ban. . In addition, some items that may be produced in the country are added to the prohibited list.
"Due to high valuation, widespread employment and young and talented manpower we can use and increase the export and production capacity of this sector," he said.
