“The meeting produced signing of a draft of a treaty according to which both Iran and Tajikistan would trade wagons; on transit tariffs, some discussions also held with Tajik authorities,” Ashouri added. He pointed to visit by a Tajik delegation, which would seek ‘signing of a good transit agreement,’ and would be signed by Tajikistan’s head of Railroad Organization and Iran’s Railway managing director.

“Fixing a transit tariff fee between two countries and export of technical and engineering services would also be a subject matter in meetings,” he said.

“Tajik delegation will visit wagon and locomotive manufacturing industries and Railroad Technical and Engineering School; with the agreement finalized, the goods transit would exceed 10,000 tons in 2015 and 4 million tons in a four-year plan,” Ashouri concluded.
