European countries to cooperate in railway industry in Iran

Tehran (ISNA) - The Iranian Railway Company has announced that it is continuing negotiations with Germany, Britain, France, Spain and Italy for their participation in the Iran’s railway industry.

One of the main axes is to develop the internal rail corridors and the connection of the Iranian railway to its northern, eastern and western neighbors, some of which have been finalized and others are in the final stage.

The deputy of the Iranian Railway Company for transport planning and economy stressed that one of the important projects of this company is to link the Astara-Astara railway between Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan.

He then pointed out that Iran is negotiating with Italy and Spain to build high-speed rail lines, with Germany, France and Italy to supply the high speed fleet and also with China and South Korea to provide the passenger and suburban fleet.

“We also hold discussions with Russia, Ukraine, India and other European countries in order to electrify the railway lines,” the official said.
