Kazakhstan is exploring the possibility of building a grain terminal or container facility at Iran’s Shahid Rajaee Port, a strategically important location near the Strait of Hormuz. The potential project would utilize a 15-hectare plot of land allocated by Iran. National Economy Minister Serik Zhumangarin announced the consideration on June 18, highlighting Iran’s role as a crucial transit route. This development aims to bolster trade between Kazakhstan and international markets. The move signifies a strengthening of economic ties between the two countries. Further details regarding the project’s feasibility and timeline have not yet been disclosed, but it underscores Kazakhstan’s efforts to diversify its trade routes and enhance logistical capabilities.
