Transit through 'Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Turkey' corridor launched

Tehran, June ۱۹ (MRUD NEWS) —The first freight train along the 'Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Turkey Corridor' arrived in Iran on June ۱۸ as part of a joint plan to activate the southern part of the East-West Corridor. Considering recent limitations which Russia faces with its European borders amid the war, there have been serious attempts to activate the East-West Corridor by Turkey, Iran, and Kazakhstan through the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (the Middle Corridor) instead of Trans-Siberian route with ۱۵۰۰۰۰ TEU capacity annually. Transit route through East-West Corridor and through Iran is emphasized by Kazakhstan and freight transfer is already negotiated with Kazakh companies through this link, Assavbayev said.
