ROUND TABLE - "TAJIKISTAN TRADE RELATIONS: THE ROLE OF THE MIDDLE TITR"
On July 14, 2023, a conference "Trade relations
of Tajikistan: the role of the TCTR Middle Corridor" was held in Dushanbe
under the auspices of USAID. The conference was attended by:
Exporters, Shippers, Forwarders, Carriers, logistics
companies, logistics associations, railway administrations, representatives of
ports.
The purpose of the conference was to familiarize Tajik
companies involved in logistics services with the possibilities of the
Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TCTR).
The Batumi Sea Port took part in an on-line format and
submitted presentation showing the operational and technical capabilities of
the Batumi Sea Port.
Due to the new geopolitical realities, today the
middle corridor looks like an alternative option for transporting of goods
between East and West. Representatives of Tajik logistics companies get
interested in the new possibilities of the Middle Corridor and expressed their
readiness to redirect part of the cargo to an alternative transport route in
case of setting up an optimal logistics chain.
All participants of the conference unanimously noted the importance of
holding such events in order to strengthen the competitiveness of the corridors
and provide high-quality logistics services to attract additional cargo flows
to the middle corridor.
