 Iran is also keen to cooperate with Indian Railways in its port connectivity plan and will accept the offer after examining the financial viability of the proposed projects in Iran.

 The MoU was signed by Indian Railway Board Chairman K C Jena and Hassan Ziari, the managing director of Iran's Railway Company on Sunday.

It seems to be a good opportunity for Iran to work with India which is an independent country in producing equipments and tools necessary for building locomotives, Ziari said.

A team of Indian experts will travel to Iran in mid May to discuss the agreements, he added.

The agreement also deals with issues of technical training of the personnel, railroad signaling projects, supplying locomotives and spare parts, as well as setting up a joint working group between the two countries.
