According to Total News, citing the public relations of the Mashhad Chamber of Commerce, Mohammadreza Tavakolizadeh, referring to the review of the neglected capacity of some new markets for the development of the export of technical and engineering services, most of the governments of the continent of Africa provide facilities, opportunity and a favorable position to economic activists, to contribute to the progress and improvement of its economic situation by investing and creating jobs in this continent; but according to the previous mental image of the people of the world towards Africa, few countries have entered the markets of this continent.
Tavakolizadeh emphasized, Currently, there is no match between the export of technical, engineering and consulting services of Khorasan Razavi with the ability, capacity and high potential of companies in this region. Therefore, it is necessary for private sector organizations to help companies focus on new markets in order to develop exports.
In the continuation of this meeting, he mentioned the performance of the Mashhad Chamber in the past year and considered pragmatism as one of the goals of the 10th term of the Khorasan Razavi Chamber and pointed out, last year, by focusing on the same strategy and with the approach of seeking more interaction and participation with the community of economic activists in various sectors, desirable achievements were achieved, and definitely a double effort should be made in order to fulfill the missions of this organizational body this year.
In the following, Mohsen Khandandel, the Head of the province’s technical, engineering and consulting companies association, addressed the issue and emphasized, Mashhad Chamber of Commerce is moving in the right direction to respond at a suitable speed, and the positive point in this is that monitoring the actions and activities of the Chamber of Commerce is possible through its members.
In another part of his speech, he pointed out and clarified the expansion of trade relations between some provinces with export target countries, special credit lines will be formed between countries to expand and develop trade relations; but proper and correct information about it is not done for all provinces.
Khandandel called Kenya an important market for the export of technical, engineering and consulting services and noted that this country has many investment opportunities in the field of agriculture, urban services, technical, engineering and consulting services and… and this capacity should be used efficiently.
He considered the lack of bank guarantee and necessary support from the Trade Development Organization to expand the export of technical and engineering services as one of the reasons for the decrease in the export of this field and stated, there is a significant gap between the technical, engineering and consulting companies of the provinces and the center of the country, which is the reason for the lack of development of the export of technical and engineering services and the presentation of contradictory statistics in this regard. On the other hand, some provinces combine technical and engineering activities with the petrochemical field and consider the export of this field as technical and engineering services; but the main activity of Khorasan Razavi technical and engineering companies is in the field of software.
Then, Mohammad Jafar Ein Al-Quzat, a member of the board of directors of the province’s technical, engineering and consulting service companies association, pointing to the lack of necessary support from the government for the export of technical and engineering services to Afghanistan, said, the government is an important factor in the development of the export of technical and engineering services and should play a role be effective in this field.
