The Economic Importance of Mineral Production in Iran, Pakistan and Turkey in View of Co-operation in Mineral Exports and Interregional Trade*
Abstract
Possibilities of co-operation are discussed regarding exports of mineral commodities, namely, chromite and marble which are produced by the three regional countries. In order to improve the opportunities for the regional trade among Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, the following minerals can offer potentialities: coking coal, sulphur, barite, bentonite, magnesite, lead and zinc ores and boron minerals, which are in short supply in one country and abundant in another.
