Kazakhstan Transport Minister Nurlan Sauranbayev met Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Alimirzamin Askerov, and AZCON Holding representative Shahin Babayev.
The sides discussed the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and the Caspian Bridge project. Under the project, ferries would extend the railway, allowing railcars to be transported without unloading and reloading. The aim is to ensure annual freight capacity of 8 million tonnes, with a target of 10–12 million tonnes.
During the Azerbaijani delegation’s visit, Samruk-Kazyna JSC and AZCON Holding signed a cooperation agreement on preparing and implementing the project. Kazakhstan Temir Zholy National Company JSC and Azerbaijan Railways CJSC also signed a Term Sheet on the main conditions for establishing a joint intermodal freight terminal at the Port of Alat.
