President: Azerbaijan actively investing in transport infrastructure

Azerbaijan has invested significantly in transport infrastructure projects both within the country and in neighboring countries, and this work continues, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in Baku during a joint press statement with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, EDnews reports.

"Azerbaijan is an active participant and initiator in many cases of the regional transportation projects, East-West and North-South transportation corridors cross Azerbaijan, and having good relations with the neighbors allowed us to establish a very broad cooperation format, which is to the benefit of all the actors.

Today, the volume of cargo through Azerbaijan in all directions is growing. We invested largely in transportation infrastructure in Azerbaijan and in the neighborhood and are continuing to do it.

And with respect to the new geopolitical situation, we see that there is a need to expand the capacity of our trade seaports, of our railroad infrastructure. We are doing all of that in line with the schedule and with our own financial resources," he added.
