This year named as "Production, Support and Eliminating Obstacles" by our Supreme Leader. The Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Industry - Mines and Trade, as the two governmental organizations which are at the forefront of realizing this slogan, are moving towards synergy and coordination to increase domestic production capacity and increase exports. On the other hand, the exhibition industry, as a driving force for increasing national production and an export bridge, can play a decisive role in creating synergies between the two Ministries of Industry – Mine & Trade, and Energy.

According to the reporting by the Public Relations and International Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran International Exhibitions Company, in order to create synergy and coordination on how the Ministry of Energy will attend the Expo 2020 Dubai event, the solo exhibition of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Armenia and domestic & Foreign exhibition events; a meeting was held between Advisor to the Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade, Chairman of the Board and Managing Director of the I.R.IRAN International Exhibitions Company, Dr. Hassan Zamani and Chairman and CEO of the parent company specialized in manufacturing and supplying goods for the water and electricity industry (Satkab) and the Secretary of the Iran-Iraq Joint Economic Commission, Eng. Mohammad Vali Aladdini to participate in domestic and foreign exhibitions on Wednesday morning, 12 May,2021 that  some parts of the interview with Eng. Aladdini beside this meeting are as bellow:

- Considering the importance of the expo in showing the national power in the international arena, what plans does the Ministry of Energy have to show the capabilities of our country?

Following the letter of the First Vice President to the Minister of Energy, he informed us to be effectively present at the Expo 2020 Dubai and cooperate with the I.R.IRAN International Exhibitions Company.

- Which parts of the Ministry of Energy are going to be present at the expo?

First of all, we must divide the field of activity of companies and institutions in the expo into the public and private sectors, so, our especially view is to create opportunities and present the capabilities of the private sector, then, we have a mission to use this opportunity to show our capabilities and the complex of I.R.IRAN International Exhibitions Company too.

- Due to the presence of the Ministry of Energy in the solo exhibition of Iran in Armenia and according to the announcement by the project manager of the solo exhibition of Iran in Armenia and the manager of the public relations and international affairs of the I.R.IRAN International Exhibitions Company, Mr. Amoli; What programs does the Ministry of Energy intend to present during these four days of this exhibition and which parts of this ministry will participate in the solo exhibition of Iran in Armenia?

Armenia is our gateway to Eurasia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) so it is a very large market. These countries have very high needs, especially in the field of electricity, and it is a good opportunity for us to enter to this market. We intend to actively participate in Iran solo exhibition in Armenia and we got in touch with the private sector companies present in this field so, they accepted us eagerly and we hope to have an effective and positive presence in this solo exhibition.

- And what is your conclusion as the last word?

Iran Solo Exhibition in Armenia is an exceptional opportunity to increase the export capacity of institutions and companies. We also intend to use this opportunity by actively participating in this exhibition. Even two companies which are active in the field of electricity have announced their readiness to start abroad productions in the same days of the Iran solo exhibition in Armenia.
