The existence of different technologies in the two countries could lead to the development of joint ventures in the region for the creation of large manufacturing and innovative companies in the two countries in order to further the economic growth through production and sale of these products to the growing markets of the region. Building on its capabilities, Iran is striving to build dynamic and constructive relations and cooperation at the regional level and with its allies.
