"We ensured the entire transport route along the East-West direction by commissioning the Marmaray Tunnel, the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Istanbul Airport, Osman Gazi, and the 1915 Canakkale Bridges. To make this route more favorable, we must work together and speed up border-crossing and customs procedures," the head of state said.

Erdogan noted that canceling land transit fees and visas for the carriers of all three countries, or keeping them at a certain level, and extending visa periods by reducing visa fees will increase the trade turnover: "The documents to be signed in the field of transport and customs will form the basis for our efforts."
