Kazakhstan's Contribution to the Development of the Trans-Caspian Transport Route
Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye are committed to developing the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR) to improve joint transport capabilities. Also known as the Middle Corridor, the transportation route is poised to redefine Eurasian trade, offering greater efficiency and geopolitical balance.
The Middle Corridor serves as a vital link connecting Southeast Asia and China with Europe, passing through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey before reaching European Union countries. In 2023, cargo transportation along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR) surpassed 2.76 million tons, marking an 86% increase compared to 2022. According to Satzhan Ablaliyev, Vice Minister of Transport of Kazakhstan, this figure is projected to reach 4.2 million tons in 2024.(Source:astanatimes)
