The first meeting of the Transport Corridor "Central Asia-Persian Gulf" will be held in February
Almaty. February 10. Silkroadnews - The first meeting of the coordinating council under the agreement on the establishment of a transport corridor "Central Asia-Persian Gulf" will be held in late February, reports KazTAG citing the Iranian Ambassador to Uzbekistan Ali Mardonius Farda.
According to him, "the negotiation process under this agreement has an active dynamic".
In August 2014 in Muscat (Oman), the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Oman signed a memorandum of understanding on the creation of this corridor.
Agreement on the establishment of the corridor was signed in April 2011. In 2013, the Qatari side has decided to withdraw from the project. Part of the transport and transit corridor will pass through the railway linking Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Iran, and some - by sea from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas and Chahbahar to the ports of Oman.
