“Transport and logistics routes play an important role in urban development and regional integration. Azerbaijan, as one of the key participants in the Middle Corridor, will serve as a hub contributing to the strengthening of economic ties and urban development in the region,” he emphasised, News.Az reports, citing AZERTAC.
