BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 10. Georgia highlighted
its role in strengthening Turkmenistan-Europe transport
connectivity through regional transit corridors during discussions
with the Turkmen side, Trend reports via the Georgian Ministry of Economy and
Sustainable Development.


The issue was addressed during a meeting between Turkmen
Ambassador to Georgia Dovletmyrat Seyitmammedov and Georgian Deputy
Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Tamar Ioseliani in
Tbilisi. The meeting was also attended by Head of the Department of
Trade Development and International Economic Relations at the
Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, Givi Zedelashvili,
and Director General of Georgian Railway, Lasha Abashidze.


The discussions centered on cooperation in bilateral and
regional transport routes, with particular emphasis on
strengthening cargo flows between Central Asia and Europe through
Georgia’s transit infrastructure. The parties reviewed
opportunities to further optimize transport links and reinforce
Georgia’s function as a key transit hub connecting the two
regions.


In addition, the meeting addressed the continued development of
logistics cooperation aimed at improving the efficiency,
reliability, and capacity of regional transport networks that
facilitate trade and connectivity between Asia and Europe.







Turkmenistan and Georgia maintain close cooperation in the field
of regional transport connectivity, primarily through the
advancement of the Trans-Caspian and Middle Corridor logistics
network. This route serves as a vital link between Central Asia,
the South Caucasus, and European markets via the Caspian and Black
seas.


A critical component of this transport system is the Caspian Sea
ferry and port infrastructure. Within this framework, Turkmenistan
operates the Turkmenbashi International Seaport, while Georgia
provides access through the ports of Poti and Batumi. Together,
these facilities support multimodal cargo transportation,
integrating rail, maritime, and road networks to facilitate the
movement of goods between Central Asia and Europe.


Meanwhile, in March 2026, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of
Ministers of Turkmenistan Nokerguly Atagulyev visited Georgia,
where he held discussions with local authorities focused on
logistics and transit infrastructure, including cooperation with
Georgian Black Sea ports such as Poti, which serve as key entry
points for goods imported into Georgia and subsequently supplied to
Turkmenistan via Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea.
