While conveying the greetings of the President of Senegal to the government and people of Iran, he added: We have been visiting Iranian companies and production units for about 6 days which was planned by the Iran and Africa Business Club. And we are also aware of the fact that the problems of transportation and financial movement have been a great obstacle in the development of relations. So we are happy that Iranian companies have found ways to overcome these two problems caused by sanctions. Iran can be a destination for Senegal’s goods and minerals and Iranian quality products will also have a place for our country.
The head of the Senegalese trade union said: Our return to Iran after few months is a sign of our country’s determination to buy Iranian goods. Even the countries around us, such as Guinea and Gambia, expect us to follow up on the entry of Iranian goods into their country and trade exchange with Iran. During this trip, we achieved many of our goals to conclude contracts with Iranian companies.
Sheikh Cisse continued: My colleagues and I are pleased with our visits to Iran due to its strong industry and high technology. Iran’s industries have good conditions and high potential for trade exchanges, and Iran and Senegal can be good business partners.

In the continuation of this meeting, Seyed Ruhollah Latifi, the deputy official of the Iran and Africa Business Club, said: “Business with African countries has been announced in the country’s policies for more than two decades”. There have been many ups and downs in the case of Senegal. In the eighties, our trade reached more than 16 million dollars, but unfortunately, this amount decreased in different years and reached two million four hundred thousand dollars last year, and this year, in ten months, it was less than 600 thousand dollars. We at the Iran and Africa Business Club, in cooperation with all private sector organizations in Iran, including the House of Samat, the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Guilds and specialized organizations, are looking for the prosperity of business between individual African countries and Iran. He added: In the invitation of this Senegalese delegation and the negotiations of the past few days in the Khodur industry, food industry, construction materials, and smart general industries, we came close to good results that Iranian companies are about to conclude an executive agreement with Senegalese businessmen. So that the desired goods will be exported to Senegal regularly from the beginning of the year. And if there is no problem in this regard and the contracts are implemented, next year our country’s exports to Senegal will hit a record and will reach more than 40 million dollars.
