Ukraine and Georgia have signed an agreement at government level on arranging direct international railroad services through the two countries’ seaports. The agreement was signed at the International Maritime Forum in Batumi on 13 September, Interfax reports.
“We signed a very important document today, which links Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan along the Silk Road. This initiative has gotten a second wind and, undeniably, has great prospects. Our countries have applied a lot of effort to simplify the logistics, make the transit cheaper, and, above all, speed up the delivery of goods, so as to make it as comfortable for business as possible,” Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan said.
“We should increase the speed at which containers pass from China to Ukraine’s western border to 9-10 days,” Volodymyr Omelyan added
