]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Turkey is not in cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the international road transport sector and this was protested amid the outbreak of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.

Chairman of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA) Gholam-Hossein Shafei, in a letter penned to the Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mohammad Eslami on Wed., lodged his protest against stoppage of country’s international road transport system due to the lack of cooperation of Turkey with Iran.

Under such circumstances, Turkish trucks can easily transport and transit their cargoes to the Islamic Republic of Iran, he criticized.

Shafei pointed to the considerable reduction of activity of 450 Iran’s international transportation companies which led to the reduced activity of 15,000 Iranian truck drivers in the cargo transit sector, he said, adding “Turkey has closed its borders with the Islamic Republic of Iran since Feb. 21 due to the outbreak of coronavirus global pandemic.”

Shafei put the unemployment rate of Iranian transportation companies and truck drivers at 89 percent and said, “this is while that Turkish trucks can transport their cargoes easily into Iran via Bazargan and Poldasht borders.”

He pointed out that this issue has increased transport costs extremely and also cost price of all goods and commodities.

]]>  Iran and Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to expand cooperation in international road transportation, IRNA reported on Thursday citing the portal of Iran Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization.

As reported, based on the MOU which is prepared in 24 articles, over 60,000 trucks and more than 300,000 passengers will be exchanged between the two sides annually and the two sides will take necessary measures to further improve cooperation in this area.

Iran and Pakistan also intend to increase the current $1-billion bilateral trade to $5 billion.

Earlier in July, Iran and Pakistan established an electronic connection between the customs administrations of the two countries using e-TIR system.

The TIR system not only covers customs transit by road but a combination is possible with other modes of transport (rail, inland waterway, and even maritime transport), as long as at least one part of the total transport is made by road.

E-TIR system allows the two countries to have access to all related information at any time, and view the information of the cargo before delivery which is useful for both sides and decreases the risk of deception, accelerates customs formalities and reduces the costs.
