Freight traffic along the ITC "North-South" through Turkmenistan is growing significantly
On the eastern route of the international transport corridor "North-South", passing through Turkmenistan, progressive growth was noted. If in 2021 700 tons of cargo were transported through it, then in 11 months of 2022 - almost 62 thousand tons and 220 containers in communication with Iran, the countries of South Asia and the Persian Gulf. Such data are provided on the website of the government of the Russian Federation, where a report on a recent meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Turkmen Commission on Economic Cooperation was published.
“We see significant opportunities for the development of the eastern route of this corridor with the subsequent exit from the territory of Turkmenistan to the territory of Iran and India,” the press service of the Russian government quotes Alexei Overchuk, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. “We are ready to use the Russian seaports of the Caspian Sea and Turkmenbashi on a wide range of issues.”
He also noted that the topic of creating a union of special economic zones of the Caspian states in the development of the agreements reached at the VI Caspian Summit of Heads of State and at the II Caspian Economic Forum deserves special attention.
