INSTC freight train project via Iran to be piloted

Pakistan’s energy minister announced a trial launch of freight trains from Russia to Pakistan through Azerbaijan and Iran via the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) in March 2025.
In an interview with Russia Today (RT) on Thursday, Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari stated that there is a principled and shared perspective between Pakistan and Russia, indicating that their relationship is not directed against any other country or the interests of any third party.
He emphasized that Pakistan’s significant relations with Russia benefit the people of both countries, and the aim of strengthening these ties is to achieve common goals; therefore, any external concerns are unnecessary.
Leghari also pointed out that Western countries should not be worried about Pakistan’s relations and cooperation with Russia, adding that, given the current global situation, the partnerships of developing countries with major international powers — especially with the BRICS countries — are inevitable.
Moreover, he mentioned that both countries are working to establish direct flights between their capitals.
