Cooperation between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan plays a key role in enhancing the efficiency of the Middle Corridor.
As Report reports, this was stated by Minister of Economy Mikayil Jabbarov at an event dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s Independence Day.

According to him, transit freight volumes continue to increase year by year.
“Turkmenistan has modern transport infrastructure, while Azerbaijan has made significant investments in its seaport, railway network and other logistics facilities. We firmly believe that joint efforts in this area will bring substantial benefits to the entire region,” the minister noted.

In addition, the minister noted that Turkmen oil is transported through Azerbaijan to international markets, while the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) is interested in participating in projects to develop promising oil and gas fields in Turkmenistan.
