Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhoundi invited Azerbaijan to join a new railway that links the border town of Parsabad in Iran's Ardabil Province to Mugan plain in northwestern Iran and the southern part of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
During a recent meeting with Azerbaijan’s Minister of Transport, Communications and High Technologies Ramin Guluzade in Tehran, Akhoundi talked about the details of Parsabad- Mugan rail link and invited Baku to join the railway.
