Iran, Iraq, Syria Agree To Build Transport Corridor To Boost Trade Ties

TEHRAN, Iran, July 3 (NNN-TASNIM) – Iran, Syria and Iraq have agreed to build a multi-modal transport corridor, to boost trade relations among the three nations.

“The three countries have agreed to establish a multi-modal transport corridor from Iran through Iraq to Syria,” Iranian Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Shahram Adamnejad, said.

“The three friendly and brotherly countries have good and growing business relations,” Adamnejad said.

Given the capacities created by the trilateral agreements, and the prospect of increasing exchanges in the near future, “we will witness a new chapter of trade prosperity among the three countries,” he added.

During Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani’s visit to Iraq in March, the two countries signed five cooperation deals, including a railway project, connecting the Iranian town of Shalamcheh, to the Iraqi city of Basra, which could also be extended to Syria.– NNN-TASNIM
