He pointed out that more than 60% of global trade passes through this area, further underlining its importance.

Governor Kamran Tessori highlighted that the Iranian revolution is a beacon of hope for oppressed people worldwide, paying tribute to its founder, Ayatollah Khomeini. Tessori also appreciated the efforts of Iranian diplomats in facilitating trade and travel between the two countries, noting that this cooperation could significantly boost bilateral relations.
