TEHRAN (Sputnik) - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued a decree to accelerate the import of goods from neighboring countries, including Russia, the Iranian presidential press service said on Friday.
"The president has issued a decree to accelerate the use of alternative import routes and maximize the use of the potential of neighboring countries to maintain market stability and prevent price hikes," the press service said.
Pezeshkian also stated the need to maximize the use of the country's Caspian Sea ports, develop alternative trade corridors, and leverage the potential of countries such as Pakistan, Russia, and Azerbaijan to ensure the import of goods needed by Tehran.
He also demanded that relevant agencies speed up the implementation of agreements.
