ArmInfo. The Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of the Republic of Armenia, in cooperation with the Astana Diplomatic Club, held a final roundtable discussion on the prospects for developing the Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Armenia logistics route.
Meeting participants discussed the potential for developing the logistics route. According to the ministry's press service, Armenia's infrastructure capabilities, current conditions, and planned programs were presented. Private sector participation and the potential for implementing new formats for regional cooperation were also discussed.
This discussion concluded a seven-day logistics tour organized at the initiative of the Astana Diplomatic Club along the aforementioned route.
The tour aimed to promote regional cooperation, strengthen mutual economic ties, and improve transportation efficiency, as well as to familiarize participants with the potential of the logistics route and assess its practical application.
The discussion was attended by Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Armen Simonyan, Kazakhstan's Ambassador to Armenia Bolat Imanbayev, representatives of the Iranian Embassy, members of the Astana Diplomatic Club, private sector representatives, company executives, experts, as well as representatives of government agencies and diplomatic circles. As a reminder, in September 2025, during the 11th meeting of the Armenian-Kazakh Intergovernmental Commission, Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mgeri Grigoryan noted that the Republic of Armenia supports the project to create a multimodal freight transport route along the Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Armenia route. He noted that parallel freight transport is already underway along the China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Armenia route, demonstrating growing interest in expanding transport and logistics ties between the countries.
"I believe these cargo shipments could become regular, especially given the potential interest of Armenian entrepreneurs in the capabilities of the Khorgos International Border Cooperation Center, located on the Kazakh-Chinese border. The development of interregional transport and logistics infrastructure is particularly important for Armenia in the context of the implementation of the Crossroads of the World infrastructure project," the RA Deputy Prime Minister noted.
