Kazakhstan Encourages Serbia To Explore Opportunities In Middle Corridor
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
ASTANA, Kazakhstan, September 6. Kazakhstan
proposes Serbia to consider the possibilities of the Trans-Caspian
International transport Corridor (TITR, or Middle Corridor), said
Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin at the 3rd meeting of the
Kazakh-Serbian intergovernmental commission on trade and economic
cooperation in Belgrade, Trend reports.
"We are interested in developing transit for cargo
transportation from Kazakhstan and China to Serbia and further to
European countries. We propose considering the possibilities of the
Trans-Caspian International Transport Route for these purposes," he
said.
As Zhumangarin noted, the current legal framework between
Kazakhstan and Serbia allows for 14 passenger flights per week
between the countries.
"There is an 'open skies' regime in place at Kazakhstan's
airports. Opening direct flights between our countries would allow
Serbia to become a transport hub to Europe," he added.
The Middle Corridor is a transportation and trade route that
connects Asia and Europe, passing through several countries in the
region. It is an alternative route to the traditional Northern and
Southern Corridors.
The route starts in China and crosses Central Asian countries
such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. It then passes
through the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye before
reaching Europe.
The Middle Corridor offers a land route that connects the
eastern parts of Asia, including China, with Europe, bypassing the
longer maritime routes.
