Kyrgyzstan plans to use the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor (TITR or Middle Corridor) for road and rail transportation of goods from Kyrgyzstan and China to European countries, Kyrgyzstan's Deputy Cabinet of Ministers Bakyt Torobaev said during the EU-Central Asia Investors' Forum, Trend reports.
