Iran, Turkey oppose fixed freight charges for 1,990km Zahedan-Islamabad journeyĪccording to minutes of the recent two meetings, Mehmat Altinosy, Ohan Akoay, Alperen Gulal and Kaveh Sabetkalam from Turkey, Shahram Jafari, Ali Abdollahi and Amin Pourbarkhordari from Iran, Imran Hayat, Kashif Yousefani, Ms Jehan Badar, Dr Hassan Tahir Bukhari and Shoaib Khan from Pakistan and Ahmad Saffari and Maryam Torabi from the ECO Secretariat attended the sessions. However, mishandling, negligence and other administrative issues on the part of Ministry of Railways delayed the resumption of the train service which is expected to start operations later this month. The ITI freight train, also known as the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) Train, was set to resume operations on March 4 after a period of nine years. Pakistan assured Turkey and Iran to consider the requests, an official source in the Pakistan Railways informed Dawn. In two recent coordination meetings of the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) - held virtually on March 1 and 4 - both Turkish and Iranian authorities requested their Pakistani counterparts to introduce the per km distance charges rather than the fixed ones, which according to them, appear expensive to their business community and forwarding agents. LAHORE: Turkey and Iran have called upon Pakistan to review the tariff for Istanbul-Tehran-Islamabad (ITI) freight train on the basis of actual weight and per kilometre instead of the fixed charges for the 1,990km journey from Iran’s Zahedan city to Islamabad.
