Baku supports the decision on the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway with access to the Caspian Sea, President Ilham Aliyev said at a meeting of the first interstate council between Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan.
“from Azerbaijan, there is an extensive transport infrastructure that includes a railway, road and air transport – to European consumers. Today, despite the lack of access to the open seas, Azerbaijan has already created an important transport network,” Aliyev said.
The head of state noted that the railway of China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan will become part of the “Middle Corridor”.
“But the main thing is that all these projects implemented in our region and in the Western Caspian are synchronized. We plan to increase the power of the Alat trading port from 15 to 25 million tons. In principle, these plans have already been, but we considered them This is a distant perspective. But today on the port there are even congestion on some days. Because the volume of goods is rapidly increasing. The figure is already announced here – 60 percent growth in 9 months. This is an important indicator in the transportation of goods, ”he said.
