Tehran, IRNA — Minister of Roads and Urban Development Farzaneh Sadegh says Iran believes the Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia (TRACECA) can serve as a “cornerstone” for strengthening relations between Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
“Over the past years, our collaboration has shown that this organization can serve as a cornerstone for strengthening close relations between Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and beyond, and Iran is fully committed to supporting this valuable framework,” Sadegh said during the 17th intergovernmental commission meeting of TRACECA in Tehran on Wednesday.
The minister added that the event is an opportunity to enhance regional cooperation, advance common goals, and promote communication, trade, and economic development among member states.
On the sidelines of the event, the Secretary-General of TRACECA, Asset Assavbayev, thanked Tehran for hosting the meeting. He described Iran as an important link connecting member states to the Persian Gulf.
He expressed hope that Iran’s one-year presidency of TRACECA will help facilitate transit and trade among member states.
