He reminded that Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are located along the international transport corridor running from China to Europe and both states are eager to fully use the potential of this transit route.

Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad commissioned in October 2017, the new Baku Sea Port and railroads connecting west and east Kazakhstan as well as Kuryk Sea Port will serve to further enhancing transport potential of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, he said.

“Cargo transportation en China-Europe route has increased to date,” he noted. “I am sure that in the oncoming period the frames of regional cooperation between our countries will broaden and this cooperation will give fruitful results at a global scale.”
