Baku, The Gulf Observer: President Ilham Aliyev has stated that the opening of the Zangezur Corridor will bring significant benefits to all Central Asian countries, highlighting Azerbaijan’s growing role as a key transport and logistics hub in the region.
In an interview with Uzbekistan’s UzA agency, President Aliyev emphasized that Azerbaijan’s modern transport infrastructure serves as a vital link connecting regional economies and facilitating greater trade integration.
“The opening of the Zangezur Corridor will benefit all Central Asian countries,” President Aliyev said.
He noted that Azerbaijan’s commercial fleet, the Alat International Trade Port—whose capacity is expected to reach 25 million tons in the coming years—the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars railway, and the country’s nine international airports collectively strengthen Azerbaijan’s position as a global transport and logistical center.
The President underscored that the continued development of these strategic assets demonstrates Azerbaijan’s commitment to fostering regional connectivity, economic cooperation, and sustainable growth across Eurasia.
