The Iranian ambassador to China, Mohsen Bakhtiar, has announced the launch of a new freight route linking China and Iran.
According to Bakhtiar, a Chinese transit train has left Xi’an for Tehran. It will arrive in the Iranian capital about ten days after departing China. The train will enter Iran through the Inche-Burun checkpoint, after passing through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
Bakhtiar commented that the launch of this route is part of the Iranian embassy’s efforts to strengthen the country’s transit potential by ensuring the transportation of Chinese goods to West Asia and Europe.
