Moscow and Tehran signed a deal Wednesday to finance and build one of the final links in a vast network of ship, railroad and roadway routes connectingThe $1.6 billion contract will be used to build a 100-mile railway linking the Iranian city of Rasht, near the Caspian Sea, to Astara on the border with Azerbaijan.
“This is indeed a great event for the region, for the entire world transport infrastructure for our countries,” Mr. Putin said, according to the state-owned TASS news agency. The Rasht-Astara railway construction project is expected to take four years to complete but Russian officials said it could be finished earlier. Moscow has pitched INSTC as a 4,500-mile-long alternative to the Suez Canal route to northern Europe.
President Raisi thanked his Russian counterpart during the ceremony and described the Rasht-Astara railway project as a “major and strategic development” in the growing friendly relationship between Moscow and Tehran. “I was glad to see you and hope to continue our contacts with you both in absentia and in person,” Mr. Putin replied. He said relations between both countries are at the “highest level.”
