The Secretariat of the Supreme Council of Freedom and Special Economic Zones has announced that it will be officially launched in line with the agreement reached during President Masuud Pezeshkian’s recent trip to Oman, between the passenger transport lines between Chabahar and Muscat and vice versa.
According to the Secretariat, this important step comes as part of the government’s regional development policy and through the ongoing support and tracing efforts of Reza Masrour, secretary of the Supreme Council of Freedom and Special Economic Zones. The Root’s official inauguration ceremony will be held next week, with Masrour presenting, highlighting the strategic role of the project to boost economic, tourism and cultural cooperation between Iran and Oman.
Mohammad Saeed Arbabi, chairman and CEO of Chabahar Free Zone Organization, said in a statement that the launch of a passenger ship from Muscat to Chabahar has fulfilled the president’s promise during his recent visit to Oman.
He further described maritime tourism as a missing link in the development of Chabahar, expressing his hope that this new route unlocks the untapped potential of the region in international tourism.
