BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15. Azerbaijan has
participated in discussions regarding the optimization of freight
transportation tariffs along the Middle Corridor.
This was reflected in a report published by Azerbaijan Railways
CJSC (ADY) following a meeting of the Working Group on the
Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR) held in Sofia on
September 14–15.
According to the information, at the meeting attended by the
Working Group leader and Deputy Chairman of ADY, Nijat Guliyev,
discussions focused on optimizing container transport and freight
tariffs to enhance the attractiveness of the Middle Corridor and
create favorable conditions for cargo flows.
At the conclusion of the discussions, a protocol was signed
aimed at further expanding cooperation in the railway transport
sector, increasing the efficiency of freight transportation, and
developing trade and logistics in the region.
The Middle Corridor is a transport and trade route connecting
Asia and Europe, passing through a number of countries in the
region. It serves as an alternative to the traditional Northern and
Southern Corridors.
The route begins in China and passes through Central Asian
countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, across
the Caspian Sea, through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye, before
reaching Europe. The Central Corridor is a land route connecting
the eastern regions of Asia, including China, with Europe,
bypassing the longer sea routes.
