Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran has 38 mutual chambers of commerce with various countries worldwide. But what do we mean by chambers of commerce or mutual chambers? These chambers of commerce are the instruments that accelerate the economic and commercial relations between various nations. The chambers of commerce in Iran are a line of communication or a gateway for companies, particularly private companies, to sign contracts and utilize commercial relations. According to the “D” and “N” paragraphs regarding article 5 of the rules and regulations of chambers of commerce, industry, mine, and agriculture enacted in 1990, chambers of commerce in Iran are established to boost the trades and mutual production and develop economic and commercial relations between Iran in other countries in various sections such as industrial, commercial, mine, agricultural and services. Currently, there are 38 chambers of commerce in Iran which we are about to examine and introduce in two articles, the “chamber of commerce of Iran and Asian countries” and the “chamber of commerce of Iran and Europe.” We will examine the chambers of commerce of Iran and Asian countries in the following.
1- Iran – China chamber of commerce
China plays an influential role in the global economic cycle, and it is known as one of the main commercial hubs of the world. Therefore, trading with china and benefiting from the tremendous potential of this country is essential for every country. China has been one of Iran’s biggest trading partners for many years. The economic relations with china in the form of imports and exports or mutual investment plans are crucial for both countries, particularly for Iran. One of the most active chambers in Iran is the Iran-China chamber of commerce. The Iran-China chamber of commerce started its operation with 65 members and has more than 7000 members as of today because of the trade expansion between the two countries. This room is now established and operational in Hong Kong and Macao. The contact information is provided in the following.

2- Iran – Turkey chambers of commerce
According to the temporary data assessed by the Turkeys data center and the Ministry of Commerce, the export of this country increased by 16%, with a value of 17.85 billion dollars in December 2020, and the imports of this country have a value of 22.38 billion dollars with 11.6% increase compared to December 2019. All of these stats demonstrate the magnitude of Turkey’s economic power. This economic power not only defines Turkey as one of the top economies in the region but also one of the most vibrant economies in the world. The facts, such as Turkey being a neighboring country, the mutual ground borders, and the similarities between the cultures of Iran and Turkey, can increase the urge for Iran to develop economic cooperation with this country. The Iran-Turkey chamber of commerce is one of the extraordinary methods for trade, market research, and reaching the active and modern markets of turkey. Also, this country makes it possible for the Islamic Republic of Iran to connect with eastern Europe countries and participate in those markets.
All of the reasons above cause this necessity to examine the Iran-Turkey chamber of commerce as one of Iran’s significant chambers. Additional information regarding this chamber is provided below:
