08.02.2011, 19.24
TEHERAN, February 8 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia, Iran and Azerbaijan have signed a package of agreements on cooperation in the implementation of railway projects. At a ceremony held at the presidential palace in Tehran on Tuesday the document was signed by the heads of railway agencies of the three countries - the head of the Russian Railways company, Vladimir Yakunin, head of the railways of Iran, Ali Abdu Mohammed, and president of Azerbaijan Railways, Arif Askerov.
The tripartite agreement provides for the accelerated implementation of the project for a transport corridor North-South, in particular, the construction of its section between the Iranian city of Qazvin and Rasht and Astara on the border with Azerbaijan. In addition, two bilateral arrangements were inked - the Iranian-Russian agreement on cooperation in railway construction, which provides for the electrification of the railway Tehran - Bandar-Abbas and an Iran-Azerbaijani agreement on cooperation in the implementation of railway projects.

In my point of view it is good development where we have Trans-Asian Railway Network Agreement (Pakistan, Iran, Turkey) and we have now choice to join RAI railway transport corridor agreement.
