Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi announced Sunday that today marks the day Iran can begin transiting Kazakh goods to Europe.

Raisi made the comments in a cabinet meeting, which was also attended by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, adding that one of the priorities of the Iranian government is to play an effective role "in increasing regional integration by expanding trade through Iranian lands as a secure, reasonably priced, and quick route."

The Iranian President said Iran can act as a transit route connecting east and south Asia to Europe as well, and that one of the priorities of the Iranian government is to resolve the barriers impeding railway trade.
