Professionals from Iran and Japan will meet next month in Tehran, Iran to discuss technologies for setting up high-speed intercity rail transportation, a report said.



Iran has drawn up an $8 billion programme over the next six years to revamp and expand its railway network, added the Iran Daily report.



Iran plans to expand its railroad line to 25,000 km by 2025 from the current figure of below 15,000 km, according to the report. Rail network accounts for less than 11 per cent of Iran's overall transportation.
