Minister of Roads and Urban Development proposed 'Iran Road' project at the tripartite meeting of Iran, India and Russia, he said adding that the project can create a huge capacity for the regional countries and important countries in the world.
Iran is connected with 15 countries by water or land and there are also Central Asian countries that are landlocked, he noted.
With this project, all Central Asian countries can easily connect to open waters, he said.
The North-South Corridor discusses the issue of Russia towards Iran and India and especially the Central Asian countries towards the Persian Gulf states and the Sea of Oman, he stated.
