Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A delegation of Uzbekistan led by Minister of Foreign Economic Relations, Investment and Trade Elyor Ganiev will visit Iran in the middle of February, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Iran to Uzbekistan Ali Mardani Fard said.
The diplomat said that the first session of Coordination Council of the agreement on creation of transport corridor among the Governments of Iran, Oman, Qatar, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan will be held in Tehran on 15-16 February 2015.
As reported earlier, President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov proposed to create transport corridor Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Oman-Qatar and other states of Persian Gulf in Ashgabat on 19 October 2010.
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Oman and Qatar signed an agreement on creation of new international transport corridor, linking Central Asia with Persian Gulf, on 25 April 2011.
Foreign Ministers of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Oman and Qatar inked the document in Ashgabat, capital city of Turkmenistan. Later, Qatar decided not to participate in the project.
The new transport corridor will run from Uzbekistan across Turkmenistan and then to the Gulf via Iran, bypassing Afghanistan.
According to the Uzbek side, the establishment of railway road communication from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to southern ports of Iran will help to create important transport network among the countries of Persian and Oman Gulfs and all Central Asian states.
The memorandum understanding on implementation of the agreement on creation of transport corridor among the Governments of Iran, Oman, Qatar, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan (Ashgabat agreement) was signed by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Oman in Muscat on 6 August 2014.
