About Our Chamber
History of Iran & Belgium Economical Relations
Economic relations between Belgium and Iran date to the end of the nineteenth century. At that time, Iran benefited from Belgium cooperation in establishing of the first sugar factory, first railway line between Tehran and Rey and modernization of Custom & Finance Ministries and post, as well as Belgium that bought oil, carpet and wool from Iran. Long-standing economic relations between these two countries which was reduced since World War II, resumed from late 1340 (solar year) and developed. Establishing Iran & Belgium Chamber of Commerce & Industry in 1365 (solar year), and joining Luxembourg in 1390 at Tehran is considered as a very important step to developing this relationship. It is highly hoped that, by the cooperation of this Chamber, economic, trade and industrial activities of three countries grow in near future.
