BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 29. Georgia and
Kazakhstan discuss advancing the development of the Middle
Corridor, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia reports.
The issue was discussed during a meeting between Deputy Prime
Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia Maka
Botchorishvili and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Yermek
Kosherbayev, as part of the official visit to Kazakhstan.
During the meeting, the parties underscored the significance of
establishing a Strategic Partnership between Georgia and Kazakhstan
during the Prime Minister’s forthcoming visit to Kazakhstan, noting
that this would mark the beginning of a new chapter in
Georgia–Kazakhstan relations and foster comprehensive
cooperation.
The parties discussed prospects for the further development of
bilateral relations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining
dialogue at the highest and high political levels, as well as
strengthening trade and economic ties between the two
countries.
The Middle Corridor is a multimodal trade route connecting Asia
and Europe through several countries in the region and serving as
an alternative to the traditional Northern and Southern corridors.
The route begins in China and passes through Central Asian
countries before crossing the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and
Türkiye, ultimately reaching Europe. It is a land-based transport
route that bypasses longer maritime routes, linking the eastern
parts of Asia, including China, with European markets.
Earlier today, it was reported that Georgian Prime Minister
Irakli Kobakhidze departed on an official visit to Kazakhstan.
