Baku/16.07.23/Turan: Russia and Iran will sign an agreement on the construction of the Rasht–Astara railway section during the visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak to Tehran on May 16-17, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali announced on Tuesday. He noted that the completion of the construction of the international North-South transport corridor is one of the priorities of the two countries.
"The western route of the North-South corridor, which covers Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran, has only one missing link with a length of 162 kilometers between Rasht and Astara. With the completion of the construction of the Rasht-Astara railway, a connection will be established between St. Petersburg and the Persian Gulf," the ambassador noted.
It should be noted that Astara is located on the border with Azerbaijan. Earlier, a railway line was built in Azerbaijan connecting the Azerbaijani and Iranian Astara across the Astarachay River. ---06D---
