The President's Advisor during his visit to Anzali Port Complex, stating that the two ports of Anzali and Caspian are complementary to each other, said: "Considering that Anzali Port Complex is located in the axis of the north-south corridor, it will have a bright and growing horizon."
According to the public relations of
the Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province, at noon on Thursday,
October 21, Saeed Mohammad, advisor to the President and Secretary of the
Supreme Council of Free and Special Economic Zones of the country, along with
the Director General of Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province, CEO of
Anzali Free Zone Organization and representative of the people of Bandar Anzali
in the parliament, visited the capabilities and infrastructure of Anzali Port
Complex.
In an interview with the Public
Relations Department of the Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan Province,
referring to the laws and facilities of free zones in Anzali Port Complex, the
President's Advisor said: "Anzali and Caspian ports together have a high logistics
and transit capacity. Therefore, Bandar Anzali will be of great importance and will
play a dominant role.”
He added: "These two ports have
good and appropriate capacities, but some of their capacities have been
neglected and need to be revived."
The Secretary
of the Supreme Council of Free and Special Economic Zones of the country,
stating that Anzali Port Complex has a long history in loading and unloading of
cargo, noted: “The purpose of creating a free zone is to develop investment,
production and exports with the necessary facilities. In order to be able to
have all the characteristics of a free zone, the existence of the Anzali Free Zone
next to the Anzali Port Complex is necessary, and this has caused the two to
complement each other in this matter.
Referring to
the bright future of Anzali Port, he stated: "Considering the leadership
and strategic plans of Iran and Russia in the Nostrak corridor, I see a very
bright future and this corridor should be developed as soon as possible,
although now it can be developed with limited capacity and start its work.”
The President's
Adviser stated that the railway connection to the two ports of Anzali and the
connection of Shahid Beheshti Port of Chabahar to Zahedan will complete the
north-south corridor chain, and acknowledged: “Due to the fact that Anzali port
complex is located in the axis of this corridor, it will have a bright and
growing horizon.”
