Russia and Turkmenistan are realizing a new joint logistics project in the Astrakhan region, which will become an important link in the management of cargo flows between the two countries. The logistics center will be located in the port special economic zone, which will increase the efficiency of cargo distribution and transportation.

A key element of the project will be the launch of a new shipping line between the port of Astrakhan and the Turkmen port of Turkmenbashy. This is expected to significantly expand shipping opportunities and strengthen economic cooperation between the countries. In 2025, a business forum will be held to develop logistics infrastructure and increase cargo turnover, which will bring together Russian and Turkmen entrepreneurs. This event is aimed at strengthening economic ties and stimulating trade exchange.

In addition to cooperation with Turkmenistan, the Astrakhan region is developing logistics projects with other countries. A Russian-Iranian company engaged in cargo transportation already operates in the region, and new initiatives with Iran are also being considered.
