BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 18. Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Türkiye aim to further simplify the process of cargo transportation through the territory of their countries, Trend reports via the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan.
According to the ministry, at present, there is a gradual increase in cargo transportation along the so-called 'Middle Corridor'.
"Uzbekistan's cargo carriers are increasing the movement of goods across the Caspian Sea. In this regard, Uzbekistan plans, together with the transport authorities of countries through whose territory this corridor runs, to create the most favorable conditions," the ministry said.
In turn, the railway organizations of Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Türkiye, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan have already provided discounts of up to 70 percent on the transportation of container block trains.
