The country&#8217;s unique geostrategic and geo-economic position has made this form of diplomacy particularly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">Indeed, Iran possesses a remarkable geopolitical landscape with\u00a016 border provinces, sharing frontiers with\u00a015 neighboring countries\u00a0through both land and sea borders. This places Iran among the few nations globally with such an extensive number of contiguous neighbors and multimodal connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The opening ceremony will be held on October 21 and will be attended by one of the heads of the three branches of government, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, as well as minister-level officials such as the Governor of the Central Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">During this two-day program, four specialized sessions are scheduled: two sessions on Wednesday morning and two sessions on Thursday morning. The closing ceremony will be held on Thursday afternoon, featuring reports from the sessions and the reading of the final statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The specialized sessions designed for this conference focus on regional economic cooperation and include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">A session on diplomacy in pilgrimage, health, and nature tourism<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">A session on trade, investment, and free zones<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">A session on linking the national and regional economy through new technology and knowledge-based enterprises<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">A session on neighborhood policy and the development of transportation infrastructure, transit, customs, and energy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The objective of these sessions is for both the public and private sectors to identify the most significant capacities for developing economic and commercial cooperation between border provinces and neighboring countries, and to discuss opportunities and challenges in order to reach concrete conclusions. We are not merely interested in holding a conference; all officials emphasize that the meeting must yield practical and actionable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Source: Quds Online.
