During a meeting with Iranian Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhoundi, Bulgarian Minister of Transport Ivaylo Moskovski said that ‘the development of a new Black Sea – Persian Gulf transport corridor from Bulgaria through Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to Iran will create opportunities for efficient and reliable freight transportation between the countries in the Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe. The project will contribute to exploit the growing trade potential in both regions and maintain the transit traffic to and from the Far East,’ Moskovski said.
The two ministers expressed their common position that Bulgaria can be the gateway for Iran to Europe, and Iran – Bulgaria’s gateway to the Persian Gulf and Asia.
