Tehran, IRNA — Iran is seeking to obtain the approval of the Council for Rail Transport of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) for its wagons to operate in the CIS rail network.

A Wednesday report by the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways said its CEO is attending the 81st meeting of the Council for Railway Transport of the CIS member states in Uzbekistan.

It said Iran will use the meeting, which is chaired by Russia, to submit its request to join the railway network of the CIS so that its wagons can operate in the network.

The request aims to enable Iran to use the vast network of CIS railways for cargo transit.
