TEHRAN, Iran, Nov.30
Trend:
Iran's relations with members of the Economic Cooperation Organization (Known as ECO) will boost the cargo transit through the country's North-South and East-West transit corridors, former member of the Iranian parliament, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, told Trend.
Iran is connected to the West and the East by transit corridors, however political tensions in recent years have affected the progress of construction and the use of international corridors, he said.
"Meanwhile, other neighboring countries launched alternative corridors in Central Asia, including a gas pipeline designed to transfer gas from Turkmenistan to Oman that passes through Afghanistan," he added.
The Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) Pipeline, also known as Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline was designed to transport natural gas from the Galkynysh Gas Field in Turkmenistan through Afghanistan into Pakistan and then to India.
