Japan Pavilion, twice larger than last year, in Tehran International Industry Exhibition
Following last year’s participation, which was the first in 14 years, JETRO organized the Japan Pavilion at the Tehran International Industry Exhibition with 18 exhibitors in an area twice as large to promote their products and technologies.
