Iran is ready to launch a ferry service from Chahbahar Port in Iran to Gwadar and Karachi said governor of Iran province of Sistan-Balochistan, Engineer Hussain Amini during his visit to the Chambers of Commerce and Industry here. The government of Iran will extend full co-operation for beginning the ferry service between the two countries, local TV reported.
Markets were established in border areas of Iran to curb smuggling and establishment of such markets in Pakistan border areas could eliminate the menace of smuggling, he suggested.
Pakistan can use Iran as a transit point for access to Europe, for which the government of Iran was building a railway track, he added.
