After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, various approaches were adopted in Iran's foreign policy. One of these approaches was the Look East Policy, which was seriously addressed during the ninth government. This policy marked a significant shift from the pre-revolution foreign policy. In this approach, Iran emphasized cooperation with Eastern countries to enhance its international position, ensuring national interests and security. Accordingly, sustainable development along the coasts is one of the advantages of the Look East Policy, which Iran can emphasize given its geopolitical position. The North-South Corridor, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization are tools that, in addition to emphasizing the Look East Policy, can foster sustainable coastal development and facilitate Iran's economic advancement and integration into regional flows. Amirabad Port, as the largest northern port of the country, connected to the southern coasts through road and rail routes, can play a crucial role in this regard. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the question: "What impact can the Look East Policy have on the development of Amirabad Port?" This research is descriptive-analytical in nature, utilizing library-documentary methods and drawing from books, scientific-research articles, and online resources. Ultimately, the study concludes that the Look East Policy can activate the capacities of Amirabad Port and promote its sustainable development, as well as attract foreign investments for revenue generation and job creation at regional and national levels.
