Bulgaria and Kazakhstan are joining forces to develop the Middle Corridor — a vital transport route connecting Europe and Asia — marking a new era of strategic and economic cooperation across Eurasia.
During his official visit to Kazakhstan, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev signed a key Memorandum of Understanding with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to develop the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), also known as the Middle Corridor. This route, spanning from China to Europe via Central Asia and the Caucasus, has gained momentum as a secure and efficient alternative to northern trade paths disrupted by geopolitical tensions. Kazakhstan, which handles 85% of overland trade between Europe and China, plans to boost the corridor’s capacity significantly by 2028.
Bulgaria’s strategic location on the Black Sea makes it an ideal partner in this initiative, with the Port of Burgas poised to become a critical node for Eurasian cargo flows. In 2024, Kazakhstan’s exports to Bulgaria surged, largely driven by oil, while Bulgarian investment in Kazakhstan rose by over 86%. The partnership is also expanding beyond oil, with uranium, lithium, and rare earth metals now moving through the corridor to meet European demand.
