Implementation of a Unified Transport and Logistics Strategy in Azerbaijan
Abstract. In recent decades, transport corridors have become an important component of geo-economic and geopolitical paradigms in the world. The dynamic development achieved in recent years in all spheres of public life in Azerbaijan has led to a significant increase in the country’s role at the geopolitical level. In addition to all this, it has become a necessity to actively participate in the socio-economic processes taking place in the global economic space, to effectively access foreign markets, and to have a competitive national industry. With the aim of turning Azerbaijan into the trade center of the region, logistics centers covering the regions are being created, and the capabilities of the shipyard and commercial port are being expanded. In addition to all this, highways are being built, railways are being rehabilitated and constructed, and cargo transportation by sea and air is being significantly increased to ensure the smooth movement of cars and trains with bordering countries. All the work done will result in an increase in access to Europe and Asia, and will further strengthen Azerbaijan's active participation in international transport-communication and corridor projects.
