At a meeting of transport ministers from the European Union, Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and the Black Sea region held in Tashkent, Georgia’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili, presented Georgia’s key priorities for the development of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor, the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development reported.

Kvrivishvili emphasized that creating a unified digital services ecosystem across the corridor is vital for reducing delays and improving predictability. She also stressed the importance of coordinated investments in essential infrastructure to strengthen each segment of the route.

The Minister underscored the need for robust inter-agency coordination, full data transparency, and synchronized operational planning. These measures, she noted, would allow partner countries to better anticipate demand, optimize capacity and collaboratively manage disruptions.

“These steps together will enable us to transform the Trans-Caspian transport route into an integrated, efficient and sustainable corridor,” Kvrivishvili stated.

She highlighted Georgia’s focus on harmonisation, interoperability and integrated data systems to support sustainable, green transport and enhance coordination along the corridor. Digitalisation, she added, is central to Georgia’s connectivity strategy and aligns closely with EU digital transport initiatives.

“Georgia continues to implement measures to simplify and accelerate transit procedures, including electronic data exchange, automation of customs processes and deeper integration with regional and European digital systems,” the Minister said.
