Iran and China have recently relaunched container trains, highlighting the strategic importance of Iran’s position for cargo transit between China and Europe. This development follows an agreement signed by late President Ebrahim Raisi during his visit to China. In the past, Chinese cargo trains have entered Iran, but the rail cargos did not last long.
The halt in rail cargos from China to Iran was attributed to several factors. Firstly, the absence of an agreement on the railway route between the two countries impeded the transit. Secondly, the cost of railway transit was higher compared to maritime transport. Lastly, the lack of cargo for the return journey to China also contributed to the closure of the railway.
This recent cooperation in rail transit signifies a positive step towards strengthening economic ties between Iran and China, enhancing connectivity and increasing efficiency in cargo transportation across continents.
