Therefore, during this visit, we will discuss ways to strengthen our agreements and ties, including communication and cultural routes, in particular the North-South corridor.

As for the East-West route, it will naturally become a convenient platform for the development of a trade, and we are striving to expand it,” the Iranian president said.
