They further noted the importance of implementing joint projects in the fields of energy, economy and transport, the completion of construction of new high voltage transmission lines, the pipeline TANAP and the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, as well as a new international sea port in Alat (Azerbaijan), a new seaport in Anaklia (Georgia) and a new railway tunnel under the Bosporus.
