Iran will export the building materials to Qatar under a cooperation agreement signed between the two countries during a visit by an Iranian trade delegation headed by Salari to the Qatari capital of Doha.

Based on the deal, Qatar will invest in Bushehr province in different fields such as agriculture, mining, port operations, and agricultural processing industries.
