Kazakh President Proposes Fiber-Optic Line among Russia, Kazakhstan & Iran

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed that a fiber-optic communication line be laid among Russia, Kazakhstan and Iran.

“I propose that a fiber-optic communication line along the Russia-Kazakhstan-Iran route be considered in order to connect to existing international lines running along the coast of the Indian Ocean,” Tokayev said at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in St. Petersburg, Interfax reported on Tuesday. “This will not only create an alternative route for transit traffic in the Eurasian space, but also significantly strengthen the position of our Union in data logistics at the global level,” he said. - Iran Daily
