mines and mining industries chains such as aluminum sector”, Kyo in Choo

“Regarding the Iran’s rich brine reserves, we are willing to invest in
production and export obtained materials from these reserves and we aim
to export approximately 80 percent of these products to China, Chen

Construction of industrial parks for brine extraction and processing is one of our plans for cooperation with Iran.
Also Karbasian noted the rich brine reserves in Iran Qom, Semnan and
Esfahan provinces as appropriate opportunities for bilateral

sector so these projects could be implemented quickly, he said.
