MINSK, 13 November (BelTA) – A delegation from Belarusian Railways headed by First Deputy Head Aleksandr Khoroshevich took part in the International Exhibition and Conference ITTC 2025 (International Transport and Transit Corridors: Connectivity and Development – 2025) in Turkmenistan, BelTA learned from the press service of Belarusian Railways.
Speaking at the panel session “International Cooperation and Investment – Driving Force of Transport of the Future”, Aleksandr Khoroshevich outlined the potential of the Belarusian railway, noting the wide range of services covering every stage of the transportation process. Belarusian Railways’ infrastructure ensures the daily operation of up to 300 pairs of freight trains in various directions.
He emphasized the importance of further cooperation between Belarusian Railways and Turkmen Railways in joint projects by engaging the potential of two international transport corridors: East-West-East and North-South.
“Belarusian Railways is ready to offer its terminal infrastructure for organizing shipments along railway routes from Asia-Pacific countries toward the EU, as well as to ensure the unhindered passage of trains across Belarusian territory,” Aleksandr Khoroshevich said. He added that joint efforts with Turkmen Railways will help develop balanced solutions for new logistics routes and promising transport-transit corridors, thereby increasing freight flows to Asia-Pacific countries and, in return, to the EU and the EAEU.
During the visit, the Belarusian delegation held working meetings with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Belarus to Turkmenistan Stanislav Chepurnoy, the deputy minister of railway transport of Turkmenistan; and Secretary General of the International Coordinating Council on Trans-Eurasian Transportation Mikhail Goncharov. The parties discussed promising areas for further cooperation.
