INSTC pivot for materializing Iran’s sea-based economy goals
Iran has an extraordinary international opportunity due to its special and privileged geographical location between two seas, he emphasized.
He went on to say that the INSTC will play a leading role in increasing the efficiency of mixed and intermodal transportation in the regional and extra-regional arenas.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the official referred to the special emphasis laid by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on the development of a sea-based economy and called on responsible organizations to pave the way for increasing both domestic and foreign investments in line with the realization of the sea-based economy objectives.
Pointing to the rail and road transportation capacities in the country for the materialization of those objectives, he added, “With the studies conducted in this regard, the Chabahar Port is considered as a new gateway for the development of multifaceted services in the International North-south Transport Corridor.”
