TEHRAN– Managing Director of the Road and Urban Development Ministry for commercialization affairs Amin Tarfa’a has said Iran plans to launch a direct railway from China to Iran, which is a positive sign in the framework of supporting and reinforcing membership in the Shanghai Organization in the transit and transportation sector.
Tarfa’a said membership in Shanghai Cooperation Organization can pave the ground for creating economic stickiness and increasing trade capacity between countries;
When the capacity of trade between countries increases, transportation and transit will also experience growth, he added.
In line with increasing cooperation with China, we are trying to revive the direct railway from China to Iran, which starts from Shanghai, he stated.
He called for removing obstacles on trade with other countries aiming to have positive effect on transit.
