It is crucial to accelerate the development of the
Trans-Kazakhstan Railway Corridor, which will serve as the main
link in the Trans-Caspian route of the Middle Corridor.
Azernews reports that this was highlighted by
the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, in his speech
at an expanded government meeting.
"Transit is a huge advantage for us in the international
competition for cargo transportation. This advantage must be fully
and effectively utilized," Tokayev stated. "We need to speed up the
development of the Trans-Kazakhstan Railway Corridor, which will be
a key component of the Trans-Caspian route of the Middle Corridor.
Several important projects in this direction are already underway,
but continued work is essential for future prospects."
President Tokayev has instructed local authorities to construct
a new railway line,“Moyintsi-Kizilzhar,” and to modernize the most
heavily used sections of the highways linking the Kizilzhar station
to the Aktau seaport.
"Special attention should also be given to the development of
multimodal transport hubs that integrate all types of transport.
The current and coming years should mark significant progress in
this direction," the Kazakh leader added.
The Middle Corridor, which includes key transportation routes
through Azerbaijan, plays a vital role in connecting China to
Europe via Central Asia, the Caspian Sea, and the South Caucasus.
Azerbaijan, as a critical hub in this corridor, continues to
enhance its infrastructure, particularly the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars
railway and the port of Baku, to facilitate the smooth transit of
goods and strengthen its position in global trade.
