President Ilham Aliyev said the Zangezur Corridor will soon become a vital part of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, known as the Middle Corridor, and the North–South Corridor.
Speaking at a “SCO Plus” session in Tianjin, China, Aliyev underlined that the corridor will strengthen peace and multilateral partnership in the region. He added that the route will bring economic and strategic benefits to Azerbaijan’s neighbours to the east, west, north and south of its borders.
