Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan Want to Extend Cargo Train Route

Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan are negotiating over an extension of the Poti-Baku-Aktau-Alma-Aty cargo train route to the Dostlug station at the Kazakh-Chinese border, Interfax news agency reported quoting chief of the Azeri Railway Company Arif Askerov.

“Currently we are working on attracting sufficient amounts of cargo which should be transported from Europe into China,” Askerov said.

The first cargo train left Georgia’s port of Poti to deliver cargo to Kazakhstan’s port of Aktau and further to Alma-Aty via Azeri capital Baku on December 24.
