The members of the Transport Corridor Europe Caucasus Asia (TRACECA) Initiative enjoy specific features and roles, he said, adding that the roles, including sea and land transport, could facilitate regional transportation as a result of all-out cooperation.
Iran has no restrictions on transit cooperation, both in the maritime and land sectors, with member states, he underlined.
