Uzbekistan is discussing the possibility of organising a transport route for cargo shipments to Russia via the Caspian port of Turkmenbashi.
The country's Ministry of Transport reports that its head, Ilkhom Mahkamov, discussed this issue during a meeting with the Russian Federation's Deputy Minister of Transport, State Secretary Dmitry Zverev.
The parties discussed issues of organisation of export-import cargo transportation between the countries along the multimodal route Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Caspian Sea-Russia and back, the press release said.
Experts told Daryo that Uzbekistan is negotiating with Turkmenistan on mechanisms to improve tariff regulation conditions for direct and transit traffic through this port.
