Tajik Deputy Transport Minister Shaista Saidmurodzoda met with Irans Deputy Roads and Urban Development Minister and Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) chief Saeed Rasouli during a recent visit to Tehran, according to website.
Saidmurodzoda confirmed Dushanbes interest in deepening economic ties with Iran and outlined plans for investment in Chabahar Ports logistics infrastructure.
She said trade volumes between the two countries were growing and described Chabahar as a potential maritime gateway for Tajikistans international cargo movement.
A Tajik investor delegation visited the Shahid Beheshti terminal to assess facilities and discuss potential cooperation in maritime transport, transit corridors, and port development.
Rasouli welcomed Tajikistans interest and reiterated Irans strategy to enhance regional connectivity through investment in transport infrastructure.
He said the scale and timeline of Tajikistans involvement would be based on the commercial proposal submitted.
The Iranian government supports creating a regional logistics value chain, and Chabahars location is central to that vision, Rasouli stated.
He added that Irans legal framework enables both foreign and domestic investment and pledged full facilitation through PMO for the projects implementation.
Ghasem Asgari-Nasab, Director General of Ports and Maritime Affairs of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, also met with the Tajik delegation.
He emphasized Irans readiness to host foreign investors and noted Chabahars infrastructure was designed to support large-scale logistics initiatives.
Chabahar is undergoing major development to become a regional logistics hub, Asgari-Nasab said.
The Tajik delegation was led by Seydou Mavin, Director of the State Institute of Transport and Logistics.
Mavin praised the ports infrastructure and said Chabahar held strategic value for regional trade connectivity.
Talks between both sides focused on maritime cooperation, logistics infrastructure, and facilitating trade routes for landlocked Central Asian nations.
Asgari-Nasab reiterated Irans commitment to economic integration across the region and highlighted Chabahars role in providing secure access to international waters.
