Iran's role in BRICS
Iran, like many BRICS countries, is rich in resources (oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore). Experts believe that joining the association could give this state access to new markets and technologies. In turn, Tehran is ready to provide its BRICS partners with the opportunity to fulfil their energy needs. Among other things, experts see prospects for the development of an international transport and logistics system (construction of the Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman) and mutual trade. Some analysts also predict the strengthening of bilateral co-operation within the association: the creation of export consortia of Iranian companies to supply products to the BRICS countries.

Iran is also famous for its painting and calligraphy. And also in the republic the secrets of carpet weaving are carefully kept and passed from generation to generation. According to researchers, this amazing craft was known as early as the 5th century BC. A real Persian carpet: who hasn't dreamed of such a treasure at all times?
