Professionals from Iran and Japan will meet in Tehran, on May 17, to discuss technologies for setting up high-speed intercity rail transport, a report said.
The meeting aims at introducing Japanese technology in the field to Iranian railway industries and exchanging experiences and know-how between the two countries.
Iran has drawn up an USD 8 billion programme over the next six years to revamp and expand its railway network, added the Iran Daily report.
Iran plans to expand its railway line to 25,000 km by 2025 from the current figure of below 15,000 km, according to the report. Rail network accounts for less than 11 per cent of Iran’s overall transport sector.
