"The governors of border regions, for the purposes of neutralizing enemy threat to the level of population’s life, should further strengthen and develop border trade, including imports of primary goods and exports of products, mobilizing all the possible national and regional resources for this purpose and interacting with public entities, such as cooperatives of border residents, and so on," the document indicates, posted on the web portal of the Iranian government.
