Armenia, Kazakhstan support transport corridor via Iran
Armenia and Kazakhstan agreed to support the development of a regional transport corridor through Iran during a virtual intergovernmental meeting held on Friday, according to an Armenian government statement published a day later.
The subject was raised during a virtual meeting between Armenia’s deputy prime minister, Mher Grigoryan, and his Kazakh counterpart, Serik Zhumangarin.
Grigoryan also called for strengthened ties with Kazakhstan, particularly within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), noting that many potential opportunities for trade and economic cooperation between the two countries remain untapped.
On transport cooperation, he said Yerevan supported the initiative to create a multimodal route along the “Kazakhstan–Turkmenistan–Iran–Armenia” corridor. He added that cargo transit is already taking place along the “China–Kazakhstan–Uzbekistan–Turkmenistan–Iran–Armenia” route, reflecting growing interest in expanding transport and logistics links.
Grigoryan expressed hope the corridor would continue to operate on a regular basis, highlighting the need for developing regional transport and logistics infrastructure for Armenia.
