Afghanistan has asked Azerbaijan to support its export efforts to Türkiye and Europe via the Port of Baku, aiming to boost trade through the Lapis Lazuli Corridor.
Representatives from the Baku International Sea Port and the national railway authority confirmed their readiness to facilitate the transit of Afghanistan’s industrial goods, agricultural produce, and minerals through the Lapis Lazuli Corridor.
