Envoy: Austria ready to cooperate with Iran in building logistic rails at ports
Austria is willing to cooperate in the construction of logistic rails in Iranian ports, said the country’s ambassador to Iran.
According to Fars News Agency, Stefan Schulz further told reporters on Monday following a one-day visit to Hormuzgan Province, “Austria has experience and new technologies in railway and logistics rail and we are ready to expand cooperation in training fields by introducing capable companies and institutes to Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO).”
He hoped that conditions would be created for joint cooperation and discussions in marine and ports areas, water management, organic agriculture, tourism and logistic rails.
In April, Iranian Ambassador to Austria Ebadollah Molaei underlined that Tehran and Vienna had agreed to expand cooperation, especially in economic and industrial sectors.
“Tehran and Vienna have held important meetings on enhancing economic and industrial relations,” Molaei told reporters. He underlined that the draft of the document of the 9th joint economic commission meeting is to be signed by both countries.
“The joint commission and its roadmap is a suitable framework for maintaining cooperation in energy, mine, transportation, tourism, technology, infrastructure, agricultural, health, banking, environmental, educational and academic fields,” Molaei added.
The Iranian ambassador underlined that cooperation between Iran and Austria is not limited to trade exchanges alone, but rather covers all-out economic ties, attraction of investment and sharing of technological know-how.
“Signing of various Mous and contracts has provided a suitable framework for enhancement of cooperation,” he said, adding that the volume of economic exchanges between the two countries hit €420 million last year.
