Countries along the Middle Corridor are developing a common management platform with two levels: expert working groups and an executive body made up of senior officials and ministers.
Fariz Aliyev, head of transport policy at Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, said the planned system would be based on a multilateral transit agreement and is intended to turn the Trans-Caspian route from a collection of national segments into an integrated logistics corridor.
The proposed framework would coordinate legal and technical procedures, digitalization and infrastructure development. Expert groups would handle specialized work, while the senior executive level would coordinate decisions among participating governments.
Details Are Still Being Developed
The final membership of the executive body, launch date and binding procedures have not been disclosed. The proposal therefore remains a developing governance mechanism rather than a fully operational institution.
Aliyev said Azerbaijan is also building a national single-window system for import, export and transit operations and wants similar systems in Kazakhstan, Georgia and Türkiye to become technically and digitally interoperable.
For Azerbaijan, the project is central to the use of the Baku International Sea Trade Port, the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway and other transit infrastructure linking Asia and Europe.
