transport corridor to stretch from the Black Sea to South Korea, Boris
Klimchuk, the Ukrainian Ambassador in Azerbaijan told a news
conference in Baku.
Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus have signed a trilateral deal on cargo
transportation in the Black Sea and Baltic direction on 12 May. The
main goal of the deal is to increase the cargo turnover between the
Black and Baltic Seas. The sides reached an agreement on the transport
policy.
-This agreement will allow to cut the term for cargo transit and to
avoid discrimination that used to occur in transport via these
territories. The sides have also agreed to extend the geography of
transit route Lithuania-Belarus-Ukraine and to consider the
possibility to attract Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia to this
project,- Klimchuk said.

Korea. -Azerbaijan is interested in this project,- the Ambassador
