BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 20. Iran is taking efforts to develop multilateral cooperation with neighboring countries in the field of transit and cargo transportation, as well as in the field of cargo transportation through ports, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said at an event dedicated to the 'Transport Week' in Tehran, Trend reports.
According to him, Iran is trying to take maximum advantage of its geopolitical position. To this end, transit and cargo transportation are being examined as a priority issue in all meetings with neighboring countries.
Araghchi noted that without reliable routes in the field of transit and cargo transportation, no trade cooperation, regional cooperation, or sustainable market economy can be formed.
"Transit and cargo transportation aren't an extraneous issue in Iran's foreign policy. This is considered one of the main tools of economic diplomacy," he added.
