Page "Transport in Iran" Paragraph 103

In August 2010, Iran declared that it " did not sign on to TRACECA project " and said it has been fostering improved transport links through a series of bilateral agreements with neighboring states instead.

According to Iran's first Vice-President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi " If all the potential of the country's transit sector is tapped, it can bring in as much revenues as oil ".

He also announced that Iran will join China and Europe by rail in the near future.
