TEHRAN (Iran News) –Mehrdad Bazrpash referred to the statistics in the field of transit during the administration of the late president and said good agreements were inked with the regional countries in this field and the road transit volume rose from 9.3 tons to 14.7 tons last year.
It is hoped that the volume of the road transit will exceed 20 million tons by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (to end March 20, 2025), he added.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Bazrpash pointed to the two macro projects namely “Iran Rah” and “Housing of People” and expounded on the positive measurers taken in these two fields.
The “Iran Rah” Project is a main issue in defining Iran’s logistics and transit opportunities and has been put atop agenda of the ministry, he said.
An American initiative was planned to remove Iran from the international corridors and transit routes, so the “Iran Rah” initiative was launched by Iran to confront it, and consequently, considerable transit growth was witnessed in the country, he went on to say, the website of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development (MRUD) reported.
