As technology creates leaps in communication, transportation, and financial flows, the world continues to feel smaller and smaller. It is possible for companies and consumers to conduct business in almost any country around the world thanks to advances in international trade.
One of the appropriate ways to develop exports and expand economic
relations with target countries is to dispatch and hosting Business delegation to these countries.
Undoubtedly, dispatch and hosting Business delegation abroad can give more
depth to the negotiations than individual business trips, and even the first
meeting and negotiation with the parties concerned can lead to the conclusion
of definitive and real business contracts.
It can be boldly
stated that the achievements of individual and personal movements and travel to
other countries, even if planned and implemented in a completely scientific and
specialized way, in addition to having very high costs, the possibility of
negotiating and attending meetings with senior officials will not be possible.
However, in a
delegation, much higher commercial and economic achievements are achieved,
while dispatch a delegation is completely planned and calculated part of the
costs of admission of trade, marketing and investment delegations can be paid
if the necessary financial resources are provided within the framework of
specific regulations.
In addition to
the Iran Trade Promotion Organization (TPO), ICC also is executor dispatching,
as well as hosting international business delegations in the country.
Thus, one of the most important legal duties of ICC with 31 provincial
chambers to enhance economic relations is hosting and dispatching business
delegations from/to all over the world.
Among ICC’s activities with respect to hosting and dispatching business delegations the following can be mentioned as salient features.
