TEHRAN -- Roads and Transportation Minister Ahmad Khorram said on Sunday that Iran is ready to contribute to further revival of North-South corridor by developing its eastern ports of Shahid Rajaei and Chabahar that are open to free waters in southern parts of its territory.

Khorram told his Uzbek counterpart Abdulaziz Kamilov here on Sunday that Iran can complete Dougharoun-Termez track in Afghanistan in line with its endeavors to fill the gaps in the North-South corridor, going as far as Turkey and Central and Northern Europe.

Kamilov said the ambitious North-South corridor development project would be effective for Uzbek economy and establishment of regional peace, IRNA reported.

Iran-Uzbekistan Joint Economic Commission is to be held in Iran in the next two months.
