Baku. TurkicWorld:
Representatives of the seaports of Kazakhstan, exporters, cargo owners, relevant ministries, and other participants in foreign economic activity have discussed improving the efficiency of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR, or Middle Corridor), TurkicWorld reports.
Discussions on this topic took place during the round table "Innovative trends in container transportation and multimodal strategies" which was held in Aktau.
Thus, participants discussed opportunities to improve efficiency and increase cargo flows along the Middle Corridor, exchanging experience on port operational issues.
The round table included three sessions dedicated to modern trade flows, new opportunities for the development of container and multimodal transport, as well as innovations in the organization of transport.
Participants at the event highlighted the importance of the Middle Corridor to regional trade and economic development, demonstrating participants' commitment to using this route to improve logistics efficiency and economic growth.
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 Corridor and Southern Corridor.
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.
