"Russia can see growing interest from Iranian partners in developing the International North-South Transport Corridor, which — amid the unstable situation in the Strait of Hormuz — is gaining significance for bilateral trade and sustainable supply of essential goods to Iran," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Interest in the corridor is also being shown by other countries neighboring Iran, she added.
The North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is a 7,200-km sea, rail, and road network seamlessly linking India, Iran, Russia, Central Asia, and Europe.
