The official body of apparel exporters in India, AEPC has claimed that its visit to Iran was eventful and business oriented. In an email reply to Apparel Resources, AEPC said that its delegation met several dignitaries on a two-day visit to Iran’s capital, Tehran and the nature of the visit was conservative. The delegation featured only five-member team, including the chairman of the association.
This declaration by AEPC defies the earlier reports, which claimed that the delegation comprised eight members.
