Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) have signed a three-year roadmap for cooperation on their free trade agreement, during the first joint committee meeting held in Moscow, according to a report by Alalam News Network, a partner of TV BRICS.
The roadmap for 2025–2028 outlines priority areas such as transport, logistics, customs digitalisation, and the North–South corridor, a vital trade route linking Eurasia with the Indian Ocean. Both sides agreed to establish “green customs corridors,” expand electronic transport systems, and facilitate the movement of refrigerated goods under the Eurasia Agro Express project.
The agreement was signed by Iranian Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade, Mohammad Atabak, and Eurasian Economic Union Minister in charge of Trade, Andrey Slepnev.
Discussions during the meeting also focused on port cooperation, infrastructure alignment, and providing EAEU member states with access to Iranian ports.
Additional agreements were reached on the mutual issuance of halal certificates, working to remove technical barriers to trade, and the creation of an electronic system to confirm the origin of goods.
According to the report, Iran is also expected to participate as an observer in the Eurasian Economic Union pharmaceutical committee, with joint consultations planned on improving access to medical equipment.
The two sides further agreed to establish a customs cooperation subcommittee and to coordinate measures on sanitary and phytosanitary standards affecting agricultural trade.
