Middle Corridor - vital complement to existing transit routes - Georgian deputy FM

BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 26. Middle Corridor
is a vital complement to existing transit routes, said Lasha
Darsalia, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Trend reports.

He was addressing the sixth annual Caspian Business Forum in New
York held by the Caspian Policy Center (CPC) in partnership with
the embassies of the Caspian Region.

He discussed the growing importance of transport connectivity in
the region through the projects such as the Middle Corridor. “The
Middle Corridor represents not just an alternative, but a vital
complement to existing transit routes,” Darsalia said.

“The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway and the Anaklia Deep Sea Port are
all parts of our mission for investing in connectivity. But
connectivity is not only about the physical infrastructure – it is
also about collaboration, harmonization, custom efficiency, and
digital integration,” he noted.

Darsalia also shed light on the important work that Georgia is
doing to attract investment, adding: “Georgia is not just a transit
country, it is an investment destination, combatting corruption,
creating a business-friendly tax environment for the companies
engaged in the region.”
