Azerbaijan and Georgia Prioritize Legal and Administrative Reforms in Transport Sector

At the opening of the 5th Tbilisi Silk Road Forum, Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov stated that Azerbaijan and Georgia are dedicated to enhancing not only physical infrastructure but also administrative and legal frameworks to strengthen regional connectivity.

According to Asadov, significant steps are being taken in cooperation with international partners to establish a unified tariff policy, simplify customs and border procedures, and promote multimodal transport, The Caspian Post reports citing local media.

"As confirmation of this, earlier this month, the railway operators of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Kazakhstan reached an agreement on implementing a unified long-term tariff for transportation along the Middle Corridor," he said.

The prime minister added that the three countries have also agreed to work together on upgrading port, railway, and logistics infrastructure, removing existing bottlenecks, expanding digitalization, and increasing the corridor's overall capacity.
