Georgia and Kazakhstan are taking another step to develop the so-called “middle corridor” at the 10th Session of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation between Georgia and Kazakhstan.

The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TMTM) or Middle Corridor is an international transport corridor that runs through China, Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia and further to Turkey and European countries. Notably, the corridor avoids Russian territory.

The session was held on April 23 in Kazakhstan where Georgian Economy Minister Natia Turnava met with the Minister of Industry and Infrastructure of the Republic of Kazakhstan Roman Sklyar.
