Milak is situated on the Afghanistan-Iran border. It is one of the major junctions that connects land-locked Afghanistan to international waters through Iran. After the collapse of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, Milak lost importance in the transit of goods to Afghanistan. In recent years, Afghanistan, Iran and India have agreed to activate the Milak route by building a new international logistics hub in Chabahar, connected to Milak.
A border crossing to the Afghan town of Zaranj opened in 2004.
There is also a project for a railway connection to Chabahar via Zahedan.
The Milak Bridge crosses the Helmand River.
