A freight train from China arrived in the Iranian city of Bandar Anzali on the Caspian Sea Tuesday, marking a new trade link with world countries and giving a fresh boost to the “Silk Road” revival.
Iranian and Chinese ministers of economy and finance met on the sidelines of ‘New Silk Road’ summit in Beijing to stress resolve for expanding economic cooperation and removing potential obstacles ahead.
Lu Jianzhong, chairman of Silk Road Chamber of International Commerce (SRCIC), has assigned Gholam Hossein Shafei, president of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture as the SRCIC deputy.
Iran says it has finalized a cooperation agreement with China that would allow Chinese traders to use the Iranian territory for exports to Europe.
