MUSCAT (Dispatches) – Iran and Oman are set to add a new direct shipping route between their ports in the Persian Gulf in a move to help boost economic interactions between the two countries, Iran's Ambassador Mohammad Reza Nouri Shahroudi to Muscat said.
Addressing a gathering of 120 Iranian and Omani businesspersons in Muscat on Wednesday, Nouri Shahroudi said the new line will go on stream within the next two weeks.
Pointing to the significant increase in the number of direct flights between the two neighbors from 20 to 48 per week, the Iranian envoy said the expansion of marine transportation between the two countries also follows the similar plan to boost Tehran-Muscat mutual economic interactions.
