According to the public
relations report of the General Directorate of Ports and Maritime Affairs of
Gilan Province, Mohsen Koushesh Tabar, on the morning of Thursday, October 27,
while visiting the infrastructure and capabilities of the Anzali Port Complex,
referring to the important role of the Anzali Port Complex in the commercial
corridors of the region, said: In all the provincial trips, the president
emphasizes on establishing communication between the border provinces and the neighboring
countries, and this is being followed up well in the ports of Guilan.
Referring to the ancient
history of the Anzali port complex, he added: Northern countries have always
been looking for a way to access open waters through Iran that with the targeting of the president and the group of economic managers
of the country, the presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the new
commercial arenas of the region such as "Shanghai" has been provided
and this can return the Anzali port complex to its original position.
Stating that by realizing
this, we can pay tribute to Anzali port and this means good planning by
equipping Anzali with new equipment, the Deputy Minister of Economy pointed

Caspian Sea countries, the Anzali port complex should be equipped as soon as
possible, and there should be diversification in the cargo transportation
sector, because this port can be the driving force of the country's
comprehensive development.
Saying that we should be
able to take advantage of the private sector's investment opportunities and
provide a better role for Anzali Port in the transportation of goods and
especially the transit of goods, Kourosh Tabar stated: the export of
agricultural products has been one of the constant demands of our northern
countries, which we can provide with regard to the existing infrastructure for
the Anzali Port Complex so that this port becomes the hub for the export of
agricultural products in the country.
He considered economic
diplomacy with the neighbors as one of the plans of the 13th government and
said: Considering the government's plans and the capabilities of the Anzali
Port Complex, the possibility of moving goods by rail and connecting this
complex to the country's rail network should be provided as soon as possible and as the government, we will facilitate the law
and regulations.
The Economic Deputy
Minister of the Interior praised the Ports and Maritime Authority of Guilan
Province and Guilan Governorate and continued: Proper planning has been done,
but it should be accelerated, and this shows that Anzali Port Complex will have
a good future.

provides a good study ground for universities to use the capacities and get
more knowledge, Kourosh Tabar acknowledged: We want the private sector and
investors interested in the sea-oriented economy to visit the capacities of
this port and observe the provided space because scientific, research, academic
centers and think tanks can also move their study programs towards identifying
these capacities.
