Sanctions have prevented the formation of the Iran-Japan Chamber of Commerce
Chairman of the Iran-Japan Joint Committee: The discussion of sanctions has unfortunately blocked Iranian money in Japan, which we can not even do to provide the machinery and equipment needed for production.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Bahram Shakoori said on the latest situation of blocked Iranian money in Japan: "Unfortunately, the discussion of sanctions has caused the blocking of Iranian money in Japan, which we can not even clean up in return for machinery and equipment." Provide production requirements. The government is trying to get this money back to the country, so there has to be an interaction in the governing body on this and other issues like the FATF, and we have no choice but to do so.
He added: "It should be noted that most of the shareholders of Japanese companies are usually American and the interests of the two countries are intertwined, so the Japanese are also looking for their own interests."
The head of the Iran-Japan Joint Committee, stating that the people of the two countries are interested in each other, said: "The closeness of cultures has led to the existence of this relationship and the establishment of cultural, cultural and political trade relations." Recently, we celebrated the 90th anniversary of our relationship with Japan in the presence of the Japanese ambassador, and scientific and academic centers in the fields of earthquake, water and environment still provide services to our country. But unfortunately, today's world is based on economics, and in fact it is economics that directs policies, while in our country it is the opposite.
"We hope that with the return of Barjam, our transactions will increase and our blocked money will be released, and it seems that with the arrival of Mr. Biden, we are witnessing a softening in the Japanese government in this matter," Shakouri said.
He added: "A large part of the blocked money is related to the sale of oil and the private sector has no money in this country and this sector has refined its products in exchange for non-oil exports."
Asked why a joint chamber of commerce was not being set up, he said: "Usually the Japanese are not very interested in this and are resisting because of sanctions." Therefore, if the appropriate economic conditions and sanctions are lifted, a joint chamber of commerce will be formed to increase relations between the two countries.
The head of the Mines and Mineral Industries Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce added: "Japan is one of the largest industrial countries in the world and in the field of mining and mineral industries Japan can meet almost all our technological needs and be a very good market for our mineral and agricultural products.
