Iranian embassy officials in Kabul said on Saturday that among the 500 companies licensed to operate in the free trade zone of Chabahar Port, 165 of them are Afghan firms.
Officials also stated that concerted efforts are being made to introduce direct cargo flights between Chabahar, Kabul and Dubai.
“We continue our efforts to also start the Kabul-Chabahar-Dubai flights in order to ease access for Afghan investors to global markets,” said Seddiq Qasemi Zakeri, the economic consular at the Iranian embassy.
