By Mehdi Sepahvand – Trend:

Afghanistan’s Minister of Transport Mohammadullah Batash is to visit Tehran, Iran, IRNA news agency reported February 1.

Leading a high-ranking delegation, Batash will discuss with Iranian officials a trilateral agreement between Iran, Afghanistan, and India.

The Afghan transport minister is slated to meet with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Akhondi to discuss the development of Chabahar Special Economic Zone, which is situated in southeastern Iran by the Gulf of Oman.

In May, the three countries signed an agreement to develop a transit corridor via Chabahar. Afghanistan deems the project as a measure to open a way to international waters. The country is surrounded by land on all sides.
