“We met with Gert Jan Koopman, Director General of the European Commission for Neighborhood and Enlargement of the European Union. We discussed cooperation in the field of transportation, especially the development of the Middle Corridor,” Nabiyev said.

Note that the Middle Corridor has been under development for ten years, but in recent years it has received special attention due to geopolitical realities (problems in the Red Sea, but also the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and complications of logistics).

A total of 2.76 million tons of freight passed through the Middle Corridor in 2023, with a target of 4.2 million tons in 2024.
