Tehran, IRNA – Iran's Ambassador to Turkmenistan Gholamabbas Arbab Khales said on Tuesday that Iran's exports to the country has increased five to six fold in terms of weight and value.

In an interview with IRNA, Arbab Khales also remarked on the recent reports on the rejection of Iran's agricultural product exports by some countries, saying that there had been no export rejection from the side of Turkmenistan since the beginning of this year.

The current rejection of potato cargoes by Turkmenistan was due to staleness of the cargo not the use of pesticide.

Turkmenistan had imposed limitations on entry of people and goods, the diplomat said, adding that the restrictions have been recently lifted and Iran is able to export its cultural products to the country and thence to the Central Asia.
