Tbilisi / 30.11.15 / Turan-BSPRESS: China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia intend to form a consortium for the transport of goods from Asia to Europe, said the JSC Georgian Railway.
Istanbul hosted a presentation of the opportunities and prospects of development of the Trans-Caspian international transport route (TMTM) China-Turkey-Europe.
The presentation took place at the annual International Transport Logistics Exhibition Logitrans. The event was attended by representatives of major transport logistics operators in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Lithuania.
"Trans Caucasus Terminals is already working with the co-founders of the international consortium that operates in all countries on this route, said the director Levan Sulaberidze.
"As part of this project for the next year it is planned to pass several containers through the territory of Georgia. In this way in the near future, the goods will go to Turkey, and from next year they will begin to move to northern and eastern Europe through Ukraine," said Sulaberidze.
Due to the project Georgia again will be on the historic Silk Road trade, he said.
The sides reached an agreement on the organization of the first demonstration train from China to Europe and the launch of a regular container service in this direction. -02D-

Azerbaijan's financial standing continues to strengthen as the country's foreign currency reserves have surged to $71 billion as of January 1, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
