Iran is ready to provide land plots in the port of Bandar Abbas for the construction of the Kazakhstan terminal

During the working visit of Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan Serik Zhumangarin to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Kazakh delegation visited the port of Bandar Abbas, located on the Persian Gulf coast.

This is one of the largest transshipment hubs in the region with a capacity of 135 million tons per year, where transshipment is carried out from railway, auto, sea transport modes. After visiting and inspecting the main transshipment facilities and the port's storage terminal, representatives of the Kazakh business expressed interest in creating their own transshipment facilities on the Persian Gulf coast.

In turn, the Iranian side agreed to reserve 15 hectares of land for the construction of a dry terminal in the port of Bandar Abbas. A joint working group with the administration of the port of Bandar Abbas and representatives of the Kazakh business will be created to study this issue. Its participants will also explore the possibilities of building silos to increase the volume of transshipment of Kazakh grain.
