Launch of the First International Railway Transit Route Linking Iraq and Afghanistan

The launch of the first combined road and railway transit line connecting Iraq to Afghanistan via Iranian territory has been officially announced. The new logistical project involves transporting goods across western borders to central freight stations, where they are transferred to national railway networks to reach their final destination in the east. This strategic step is a qualitative development in enhancing regional trade corridors, effectively contributing to lowering logistical costs and reducing cargo transit times across the region.
