A delegation of Azerbaijan Railways (ADY) headed by Chairman Rovshan Rustamov visited Iran to assess the state of the railway infrastructure in Julfa. One of the key issues was the construction of a railway bridge across the Araz River, which will connect Nakhchivan with the mainland of Azerbaijan via Iran. In addition, ADY representatives got acquainted with the work of the wheel pair replacement workshop in Julfa.
In the city of Astara, Rustamov met with the head of Iran Railways Jabbar Ali Zakeri Sardroodi. During the talks, they discussed the stages of construction of the terminal in Astara, the completion of which is scheduled for the end of 2025. The parties also considered new areas of cooperation and financing issues.
Particular attention was paid to the activities of the Southern Cargo Terminal (Cənub Yük Terminalı MMC), which manages facilities in Astara on the territory of both countries. The participants agreed on joint measures to expand cooperation and resolve mutual issues.
