@newscentralasia

Turkmenistan will start the transit of cargo along the Resht-Kaspian railroad line in Iran, as reported by the publication, Turkmenistan: Golden Age, citing Milad Salehi, the Director General of Railways of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Sulfur transit from Turkmenistan will start  along this route next week.

The Resht-Kaspian railroad is an important part of the North-South international transportation corridor connecting the Caspian Sea with the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. It also links the north and south of the country. This route opens up new opportunities for cargo transit from Central Asia to the Middle East and South Asia.
