Iran and Azerbaijan have signed a landmark agreement to develop cross-border communication corridors and data transit routes, marking a significant step toward enhanced regional digital connectivity.
The agreement was signed by Behzad Akbari, CEO of the Iranian Telecommunication Infrastructure Company, and Ramazan Valiyev, Director of Delta-Telecom.
Aimed at strengthening bilateral and regional cooperation in communication infrastructure, the deal focuses particularly on data transit and the installation of submarine cables. This collaboration seeks to bolster high-speed connectivity, ensure secure data exchange, and streamline digital trade between the two countries.
Under the agreement, Azerbaijan will be able to route data traffic to and from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, and other neighboring countries through Iranian infrastructure. This positions Iran as a strategic digital hub in the region and strengthens Azerbaijan’s role as a digital gateway to Eurasia.
"By optimizing these transit routes, the partnership elevates both countries as emerging players in Eurasia’s digital economy—potentially attracting global technology investment. Joint initiatives in secure data transmission could also set new benchmarks for cross-border digital trust," - said Iranian Telecommunication Infrastructure Company in its press-release.
The agreement underscores the vital importance of international collaboration in advancing technological innovation and economic resilience. For businesses and IT professionals, it opens the door to new opportunities in infrastructure development, digital services, and strategic partnerships across emerging markets.
