BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 25. Middle Corridor's
expansion prospects have been discussed between Azerbaijan and
Turkmenistan, Trend reports via Azerbaijan Railways CJSC.
The issue was discussed between CJSC Chairman Rovshan Rustamov
and the Chairman of the Turkmenistan Railway Agency, Azat
Atamuradov.
The meeting was also attended by a high-level delegation from
the Turkmenistan Maritime Routes Agency.
The parties extensively discussed issues related to
strengthening ties between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan in the
railway sector and increasing freight turnover, as well as the
volume of multimodal cargo transportation along the Central Asia –
Europe – Central Asia and China – Europe – China routes, where
there is significant potential for cooperation.
Additionally, during the visit, Rustamov held meetings with the
heads of the Turkmenneft, Turkmengas, Turkmenchemistry state
concerns, and the State Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange of
Turkmenistan, providing detailed information about Azerbaijan's
efforts to expand the Middle Corridor capabilities.
Meanwhile, the Middle Corridor links the container rail freight
transportation networks of China and the European Union countries
through Central Asia, the Caucasus, Türkiye, and Eastern
Europe.
A multilateral multimodal transportation infrastructure links
the ferry terminals of the Caspian and Black Seas with the railway
systems of China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye,
Ukraine, and Poland.
The Middle Corridor facilitates the flow of cargo from China to
Türkiye, as well as to Europe and vice versa.
A route train along this corridor delivers cargo from China to
Europe in an average of 20–25 days, and this is one of the main
advantages of this transport corridor.
