TEHRAN \u2013 Newly appointed head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Railway (known as RAI) has said a new passenger rail line is going to be launched between Iran\u2019s capital Tehran and Turkey\u2019s eastern city of Van.<\/p>\n
Jabar-Ali Zakeri said RAI is taking new measures to expand the country\u2019s passenger railway fleet, Tasnim News Agency reported.<\/p>\n
Iran and Turkey had already launched a passenger rail line between Tehran and Van in 2019 but it was suspended due to some geopolitical issues.<\/p>\n
Located near the Iranian border, Van is a tourist attraction for its natural wonders and historic monuments. Over the years, it has become a top destination for Iranian tourists, especially during Iranian national holidays.<\/p>\n
Iran exported non-oil goods worth $2.4 billion to Turkey in the first half of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20-Septemebr 21). As reported, Turkey was the fourth export destination of Iran among its other neighbors during the six-month period.<\/p>\n

Iran also imported commodities worth $5.1 billion from Turkey, which made the country the third source of import for Iran in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n
In early July, Director of Asia and the Pacific Office of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA) International Affairs Department Niloufar Asadi said a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Iran and Turkey should replace the previous trade agreements between the two countries to boost economic exchanges.<\/p>\n
