The director general of the Khorasan Railway said that 1,050,000 tons of goods were transmitted through Iran’s Sarakhs border crossing with Turkmenistan in the first five months of the current Iranian calendar year, showing a 30% growth compared with the same period last year.

Nearly 600,000 metric tons of the total foreign trade at the Sarakhs railway border was related to goods transit with a 55% growth, Mostafa Nasiri told IRNA on Sunday.

He added that 526,000 metric tons of the transit was related to imports from Turkmenistan to the Sarakhs railway border, which is 78% of the transit route of the Sarakhs-Bandar Abbas railway corridor.

400,000 metric tons of goods exported to Turkmenistan have been loaded in Razavi Khorasan province, which is the reason for the success of launching a logistics village at the Shahid Motahari Railway Station near Mashhad, Nasiri said.
