Kazakhstan plans to transport two to three million tonnes of oil through the Georgian corridor in 2022, with further increase in the figure planned for the upcoming years, the Georgian Economy Ministry announced.
During a meeting between Levan Davitashvili, the Georgian Economy Minister, and a Kazakh delegation led by Yerzhan Kazikhan, the Special Representative of the President of Kazakhstan, the sides agreed to use joint efforts to attract and serve the transportation of goods in the transport corridors through Georgia and Kazakhstan “in the long run”, the Ministry said.
