“The Iranian president has already initialed a document on the allocation of a loan for the construction of the Rasht-Astara railway, which is expected to be completed in the next three years,” Mammadyarov said.
According to the minister, India is interested in the South-West transport corridor project.
"Transportation of goods from Mumbai, India, to Europe takes more than 60 days. Vietnam is showing interest in the project. When I was there last year, they said that their export potential was $ 204 billion, of which $ 44 billion falls on the share of goods exported to Europe,” he stressed.
Mammadyarov said he believes the South-West transport corridor project has a great future.
“Such an opportunity emerged after the opening of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, which will change the world’s transport map," he added.
