Speaking at a meeting dedicated to transportation issues, Aliyev highlighted Azerbaijan’s role in major international trade routes.“Currently, the East-West and North-South transport corridors pass through our territory. The volume of cargo transported along these corridors is increasing by the year. In addition to physical infrastructure, other steps have been taken to ensure more efficient transportation of cargo, including attention paid to digitalization.
