Iran plans to use Turkmenistan-bound wagons to facilitate cement exports to Central Asia, especially Uzbekistan, an official with the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways said.
“Based on bilateral discussions we had at Sarakhs (located at Khorasan Razavi Province) with Turkmenistan’s railroad officials, we reached an agreement to use their high-sided wagons to export cement,” said Shahram Jafari, IRIR’s head of commercial operations.
“The northeastern neighbor predominantly uses the wagons for sulfur transit through Iran, which will utilize the empty wagons on their return to Turkmenistan.
