yī lǎng伊朗xī wàng希望tōng guò通过CPECxī yǐn吸引gèng更duō多zhōng guó中国tóu zī投资
Iran recently hopes to designate some of its domestic logistics routes as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to attract more Chinese investment.
Iranian economic officials and Pakistani officials discussed the possibility of Iran helping Pakistan do business with Russia and Europe.
Although Russia and Pakistan plan to open freight trains through countries like Iran, this route is actually not part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
Iran hopes that by associating with the name of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China will be more willing to invest.
If China has more projects in Iran, it will also increase China's influence in the region.
Although the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has not developed as expected in recent years, Iran and Pakistan hope to renew attention to the project through new cooperation.
Iran also hopes to improve its economy through these collaborations.
