Azerbaijan-Georgia transport corridor will soon become a competitor to those of Iran and Russia, Georgian Premier Nika Gilauri said at the governmental session.

He stressed that many actors are involved in the project and they faced difficulties in particular with private companies.

“We intend to attract additional cargo in this corridor. It is important that we have increased the competitiveness,” he said, Trend reported. He also added that it is necessary to improve activities to attract more cargo from the Russian and Iranian transport corridors.

Gilauri also said that in the course of his recent visit to Baku a working group on the development of Georgian-Azerbaijani transport corridor was set up. It will coordinate the work of all the companies involved in the corridor.

“This is a very important project that requires more efforts to increase the attractiveness of our corridor. We will work on it with our Azerbaijani colleagues,” Trend quotes Georgian Premier.
