ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 7. Kazakhstan’s
Foreign Minister Yermek Kosherbayev and Georgia’s Foreign Minister
Maka Botchorishvili discussed the development of the Trans-Caspian
International Transport Route (TITR), Trend reports via the Kazakh Foreign
Ministry.
Our common task is to consistently increase its capacity,
enhance the predictability of transport services, and ensure
transparency in tariff policies,” Kosherbayev said during a meeting
in Tbilisi.
During the talks, the sides welcomed the positive trends in
trade turnover, noting that Kazakh investments in Georgia have
exceeded $600 million. They also highlighted the active involvement

The Middle Corridor is a transport trade route passing through
several countries in the region and connecting Asia with Europe. It
serves as an alternative to the traditional Northern and Southern
corridors.
The route begins in China and passes through Central Asian
countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. It then
crosses the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye before
reaching Europe. The Middle Corridor is a land-based route that
bypasses longer maritime paths, linking eastern parts of Asia,
including China, with Europe.
