What is the need for the presence of unrelated officials at Expo Dubai?
A member of the Iranian Carpet Scientific Association said: “In the letter listing the people to attend the Dubai Expo, only the names of officials and employees of the Ministry of Silence and the National Carpet Organization of Iran can be seen, although this list has not yet been approved by this ministry.”
In an interview with ISNA, Abdullah Ahrari said about the list of employees of the National Carpet Organization and the Ministry of Industry and Mines at Expo Dubai: “Expo is an exhibition that is held every 5 years in a country, and this year Dubai hosted the exhibition.” This year, a special hall for Iranian carpets has been planned in Dubai, Iran.
He added: “This year, three halls have been given to the National Carpet Organization of Iran, in which only a part of Qom carpets have been exhibited, and other Iranian carpets have no place in it.”
A member of the Iranian Carpet Scientific Association claimed: “Another part that we should refer to directly is a letter in which a list of people to attend the Dubai Expo is presented, and among them only the names of officials and employees of the Ministry of Silence and the National Carpet Organization of Iran Eats. Of course, this list has not yet been approved by the Ministry of Silence.
Ahrari continued: it should be said that the presence in the expo should be provided for carpet activists and people who have the ability to attract capital in this field; But unfortunately, with the published list, only the names of the employees of the organizations can be seen, who will be the only visitors to Dubai. For this purpose, I recommend traveling to Tehran from Qom and watching the carpets of this city.
He pointed out: “Expo is a place where I think a number of importers, exporters and the private sector should participate in order for their presence to have an effect on Iranian carpets. Of course, I emphasize again that the Ministry of Silence is on the list of people to visit Dubai has not given a positive answer in the field of carpets.
Why is the presence of carpets from all provinces not used in the expo?
A member of the Iranian Carpet Scientific Association added: But in general, the question arises why the presence of carpets from all provinces of the country has not been used for the expo? At least one representative had to attend the exhibition to introduce the carpets and handicrafts of the provinces; Because we have popular and famous handicrafts in provinces such as Khuzestan, Khorasan Razavi, Fars, Kerman.
Ahrari said: Of course, those in charge of this field claim that the letter of presence of carpet activists has been communicated to the provinces, but the provinces have not announced that this also refers to their management, in which case other methods such as direct correspondence with carpet organizations They were used for information.
He said: “Another issue that I mentioned at the beginning of the talk is sending a group of people.” The presence of the chairman and deputies at the Dubai Expo in the field of carpets is natural, but the long list of people in the form of an anthology is not a happy face for the activists in this field who are looking for opportunities to attract capital.
A member of the National Carpet Association of Iran continued: “The travel of a large number of people at the expense of the government is not in a good shape in the dire economic conditions of the country. Expo Dubai will bring a lot of costs for those in charge of this field.
Regarding the presence of Khorasan Razavi carpet activists in Expo Dubai, Ahrari explained at the invitation of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts of the province: “We have not been informed about the presence of Khorasan Razavi carpet activists yet and as far as I know Even in the east of the country, no group or individual has been invited to attend the Dubai Expo during the presence of Khorasan Razavi.
Only carpet activists will have a productive presence at the expo
He said: “Of course, in my opinion, the presence of the employees of the Khorasan Razavi Carpet Office in the expo is not correct, and it is the activists of the Khorasan Razavi carpet field who will have a fruitful presence in the expo;” Because these people can also attend the expo at their own expense.
A member of the Iranian Carpet Scientific Association continued: “As it has been said, the presence of employees active in the field of carpets will not have any results; Because the excuse of running carpet salons in Pavin Iran is not possible considering that these salons are owned by a Qomi brand and company. Also, unfortunately, until the end of the expo, the carpet salons in Pavin Iran will only show a part of Qom carpets and the woven category of other provinces of the country will not be exhibited.
