By specific or special Geopolitical and economical condition of the middle east and our country it is so challenging and difficult to do the best in this event but visiting friends and colleagues and listening to the speaches in the congress chambers give us determination to do very well.
Parallel to this event 17th congress of our friends in technical science cooperation will be held.
Venue of these events will be at Milad tower complex in the live weather of spring from 23rd to 26th of April 2019, “3rd to 6th of ordibehesht 1398 of Iranian calendar”.
