The ministerial focused on Trans-Caspian corridors through which cargos are transported from China to Europe faster, safely and reliably. Natia Turnava underlined the increased dynamics in cargo turnover. She said the turnover from China through Georgia increased by 12,9 % in 2020 year-on-year.

The Minister said the 56,4% increase was made for the eight months of 2021 for the number of containers transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway despite the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Participants of the quadripartite meeting discussed how to make the middle corridors more attractive and competitive under the conditions of a global contesting environment to boost infrastructure investments.
