Georgian Minister of Economy participated in the quadripartite meeting with delegations from Turkey, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in Turkey on the sidelines of the Transport Ministerial.

The meeting focused on Trans-Caspian corridors through which cargos are transported from China to Europe faster, safely and reliably. Natia Turnava accentuated the increased dynamics in cargo turnover.

“The turnover from China through Georgia increased by 12,9 % in 2020 year-on-year.

56,4% increase was made for the 8 months of 2021 for the number of containers transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway despite the pandemic. COVID-19 was a test for our transport systems. We managed to avoid major faults in transiting”, - added Natia Turnava.
