More than 50 million tons of cargo growth is expected along the Middle Corridor, and for this purpose, Azerbaijan is making additional investments, Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan said at the 6th Caspian Business Forum held in New York.
Hajiyev mentioned at the 6th Caspian Business Forum, dedicated to the theme 'Connectivity, Finance, and Energy along the Middle Corridor,' that with a cargo capacity of 25 million tons per year, the Port of Baku is expanding its capabilities.
He said the railway project, which extends from Baku to Zangilan and the Armenian border, has been underway since 2020.
“It's expected to be completed in mid-2026. Work is also underway on the 42km Zangezur section located in Armenia, and our partners from the United States are participating here. The third segment covers Nakhchivan," Hajiyev said.
"Additional investments are being made in this area, and we are inviting other international partners, including European countries, to collaborate. To turn the South Caucasus into a space for cooperation is the main goal," Hikmat Hajiyev said.
