Given this, I invite cooperation, sharing the best technologies and practices. Of course, we cannot imagine trade without roads or other logistics infrastructure. Azerbaijan has been working on this for many years and has created a multifaceted transport network. A new transport map of the region in the Caucasus and along the Caspian Sea has been created.
