“The main goal of the work of the Permanent Secretariat is to create an international transport corridor that meets the requirements of the 21st century, namely, is competitive both in terms of transportation cost and delivery time,” secretary general added.

As part of IGC TRACECA, by the initiative of Turkey, the TRACECA Multilateral Permits System for international road transport was developed and introduced in 2015.

On June 11, 2020, a meeting of the Permanent Representatives (National Secretaries) of the Permanent Secretariat of IGC TRACECA was held in an online conference mode. During the meeting, the participants exchanged views on issues of principles, approaches and methods for determining the routes of this corridor, the proposed draft agreement on a Single Transit Permission for the project, as well as the accession of the parties to the agreement on the development of multimodal transport TRACECA.
