"The topics discussed at the conference will, in fact, directly affect both the digitalization of the route in question in the countries participating in the Middle Corridor and important directions in other areas over the next four years, such as digitalization, innovation, and the rollout of new technologies.

To note, the Middle Corridor connects the container rail freight networks of China and the European Union countries through the countries of Central Asia, the Caucasus, Türkiye, and Eastern Europe.

The multilateral multimodal transport infrastructure connects the ferry terminals of the Caspian and Black Seas with the railway systems of China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Poland.

The block train running along this corridor delivers goods from China to Europe in an average of 20-25 days, and this is one of the main advantages of this transport corridor.
