Iran resolved to complete North-South Transport Corridor: President Pezeshkian
He said the implementation of the Rasht-Astara railway section under the North-South international transport corridor project is among Iran’s priorities.
“Iran is committed to the provisions of this agreement and the Russian side can begin mapping the route and prepare the implementation of the project as soon as possible.”
He said the Iranian government puts emphasis on the implementation of the agreement and the country’s minister of roads and urban development is pursuing the issue.
The 162-kilometer Rasht-Astara railway is a strategic transport corridor that will connect the Iranian city of Rasht, near the Caspian Sea, to Astara on the border with Azerbaijan.
The project, which is aimed at integrating the transport and information routes of Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran and India, is carried out within the framework of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
