Belarus is included in the North-South TC
For the first time, the Republic of Belarus is included in the international North-South transport corridor.
Thus, in the spring of this year, the first test shipments of Belarusian export goods through Iran to other Asian countries will be carried out along the trans-Caspian route of this corridor.
A corresponding agreement was reached during a meeting between Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Golovchenko and CEO of the Lotus Special Economic Zone Sergey Milushkin. The meeting took place in Astrakhan.
At the initial stage, chemical fertilizers, dairy products, and light industry goods will be transported from Belarus through the ports of the Astrakhan region; then the list of cargoes will be replenished with processed wood and some types of engineering products.
To increase the economic efficiency of these shipments, the Ambassador of the Republic of Belarus to Russia Dmitry Krutoy proposed to apply an effective average tariff for cargo delivery.
