A high-

'Jafza'
led by
Mr.
Hamza Al
Haddad,
Vice
President,
Marketing
and Dr.
Mohamed
Al
Banna,
Regional
Manager,
Asia &
Pacific,
recently
visited
Iran to
promote
Jafza's
services
and
offerings
in the
Iranian
market,
and
attract
investors
from the
country
to
establish
operations
in the
free
zone.
During
their
visit,
the
delegation
held
talks
with
several
companies,
especially
from the
food,
retail
and
manufacturing
sectors,
to
discuss
possibilities

The
delegation
also met
with
H.E. Dr.
Ali
Khoram,
Deputy
of
International
Affairs
and High
Council
of Free
&
Special
Economic
Zones,
to
discuss
bilateral
cooperation
between

Iran and
the
various
steps to
be taken
to
reinforce
this
cooperation.
'Iran
and the
UAE
share a
long
history
of
bilateral
trade
relations,
and
during
the
visit we
highlighted
the
facilities
and
services
that
Jafza
provides
to its
clients.
This was
certainly
a very
successful
trip for
us, as
several
investors
across
all
industry
sectors
showed
keen
interest
in
setting
up
operations
in Jafza
to tap
the
potential
of the
regional
markets,' 
Jafza's
delegation during the seminar
said Hamza Al
Haddad.
'The
Jebel Ali Free Zone has built a
reputation across the Middle
East and other regions, as a
fully equipped zone, with
state-of-the-art facilities and
services for companies involved
in manufacturing, trading and
marketing of different products
in all industries, such as
electronics, textiles,
automotive, engineering, food,
pharmaceutical and others,' he
added.
H.E. Dr.
Ali Khoram also invited Jafza
delegation to visit any of the
twenty free trade zones in Iran
to discuss matters of mutual
interest and extend the
bilateral relations between
Jafza and the free zones in
Teheran.
The main
industries in Iran include
petroleum, petrochemicals,
textiles, cement and other
construction materials, metal
fabrication, armaments and food
processing, particularly sugar
refining and vegetable oil
production.
Jafza is
currently a home for 456 Iranian
companies and it continues to
offer a range of advantages to
companies that plan to set up
operations in the zone. It
guarantees to provide its
clients with simple
administrative procedures, zero
duties on all import and export
goods and machineries within the
free zone, modern communication
facilities and excellent support
services. |
