"Iran and Iraq have always had an active trade exchange," Askari said at a joint border meeting between the Iranian provinces of Ilam and Wasit in the western Iranian city of Ilam. He added that "the borders of Mehran is one of the most important borders of the country to develop commercial activities and transit of goods and the transit of passengers," pointing out that "despite the availability of all energies and security settled, we have witnessed a sharp decline in exports of goods through the port of Mehran to Iraq, a billion dollars last year. He explained that "the most important need within the borders of Mehran is the opening of the transit gate and of course we aim to implement the comprehensive project to the borders of Mehran and to expand the customs area by allocating the necessary budget for that," stressing that "the need to allow the entry and exit trucks in the borders of Mehran and Zurbatiya to the territories of the two countries." "One of the measures that will lead to the development of exports within the borders of the two countries is to access the information of goods entering and out, including, for example, that officials of the borders of the two countries accept the images taken by the X-ray system of goods and trucks." He pointed out that "the approval was made on 50 export items in terms of standard specifications and requires the approval of Iraqi officials to do so," asserting "the readiness of Iranian customs to establish a border (Jnkula) border." "This is necessary because the trucks did not cross from the Mehran border during the 40th visit period," he said
