Iran Explores Avenue to Expand KTAI Exchange

The KTAI corridor, which has recently been launched following last week’s first successful TIR pilot operation from Shahid Rajaee Port in the southern Hormozgan Province to Kyrgyzstan, offers a shorter route from Iran to Central Asia.
The statement was made by Behnam Faramarzian, the caretaker of international transportation and TIR Carnet department of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mining and Agriculture. 
“The inauguration of KTAI road corridor would reduce transit time and costs and strengthen transportation infrastructures; we will witness the gradual increase in trade between regional countries and ECO [Economic Cooperation Organization] member states in particular,” he added.
