Iran highlights its efforts to develop co-op with neighbors on transit and cargo traffic

BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 20. Iran is taking
efforts to develop multilateral cooperation with neighboring
countries in the field of transit and cargo transportation, as well
as in the field of cargo transportation through ports, Iranian
Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said at an event dedicated
to the 'Transport Week' in Tehran, Trend reports.

According to him, Iran is trying to take maximum advantage of
its geopolitical position. To this end, transit and cargo
transportation are being examined as a priority issue in all
meetings with neighboring countries.

Araghchi noted that without reliable routes in the field of
transit and cargo transportation, no trade cooperation, regional
cooperation, or sustainable market economy can be formed.

"Transit and cargo transportation aren't an extraneous issue in
Iran's foreign policy. This is considered one of the main tools of
economic diplomacy," he added.
