Iran's Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance is working to accelerate the process of operations at the borders with Coordinated Border Management, Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Seyed Ali Madanizadeh told local media, Trend reports.

According to him, after the establishment of a working group on increasing the country's trade turnover, this program was prepared and submitted to the president following the instructions of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to prepare a program for changes in the country's customs in coordination with other ministries and related agencies.
