TEHRAN, Jul. 01 (MNA) – Shalamcheh-Basra railway project will be implemented within three months, Iranian Deputy Road Minister Kheirollah Khademi said in a joint meeting between heads of the railways of Iran, Iraq and Syria in Tehran on Monday.

Khademi, who is also the head of Construction and Development of Transportation Infrastructures Company, said that after signing a cooperation agreement between Iran and Iraq, the contractor and investor of the 32-kilometer Shalamcheh-Basra railroad were designated.
