BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 20. The potential
for expanding piggyback transport between Georgia and Azerbaijan is
being explored, Georgia's Minister of Economy and Sustainable
Development Levan Davitashvili said at a ministerial
roundtable on "Sustainable and Digital Middle Corridor
and Beyond" at COP29 in Azerbaijan's Baku, Trend reports.
"Piggyback transport between Georgia and Azerbaijan combines the
benefits of both rail and road transport, reducing fuel consumption
and emissions while also enhancing road safety. The feasibility
study is nearing completion and is expected to be finalized early
next year," he said.
Davitashvili also highlighted Georgia's active promotion of
multimodal hubs and logistics centers that facilitate efficient
cargo transfer between different modes of transport and support
sustainable supply chains.
"It is important to note that Georgia is a party to several
international UN legal instruments concerning transport
infrastructure, which demonstrates the country's commitment to
international standards. Improving coordination at the
international level and harmonizing legal frameworks can
significantly enhance regional connectivity by removing physical
barriers and improving the compatibility of transport systems," the
minister added.
