Farid Aliyev, Director of the Department of Transport Policy at the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan, stated that the construction of the Zangazur Corridor in Azerbaijan is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
According to him, the cargo transportation along the corridor increased nearly five times in mid-2024 compared to 2019.
"In 2024, 358 trainloads were sent from China to Europe. This also shows that Azerbaijan's influence on the Middle Corridor is increasing. We believe we have greater potential and opportunities in this area. The current trade volume and future prospects between Europe and China, as well as the reforms we are carrying out and expanding in this field, allow us to talk about this," said Aliyev.
He said that the Zangazur Corridor is an important part of Azerbaijan's transport system and is an important strategic project for establishing east-west and north-south transportation and for transit cargo transportation.
"The work of establishing the corridor in Azerbaijan is expected to be completed within next year. With the development of the Zangazur Corridor, the Middle Corridor will transport an additional 15 million tons of cargo," concluded Aliyev.
