A new customs checkpoint named Gurbulak has been launched on the Turkish side of the Iran-Turkey border, aiming to enhance bilateral economic cooperation and transit capabilities, according to Mehr News Agency.

The newly opened customs post is expected to significantly boost and expand economic interaction and transit opportunities between the two countries. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Turkey's Trade Minister Omer Bolat, the Governor of Iran's West Azerbaijan Province Reza Rahmani, and other officials.
