The delegation was organized in partnership with the U.S. Commercial Service, the American-Georgian Business Council (AGBC), the US-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC), and the American Chamber of Commerce in Kazakhstan. During the visit, the delegation traveled to Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan.

The Middle Corridor is a trade and transport route linking Asia with Europe, serving as an alternative to the traditional Northern and Southern corridors. It begins in China, passes through Central Asian countries including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, then crosses the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye before reaching Europe, providing a shorter land-based connection between East Asia and Europe.
