National Programme for the Development of Railway Infrastructure of the Republic of Moldova for 2026-2030. In parallel, the participants considered digitalisation and electronic data exchange across the TRACECA area, and the Secretary General, drawing on his previous experience as Deputy Minister of Transport of the Republic of Uzbekistan, shared practical examples of overcoming challenges in the development of international railway corridors.  The logical conclusion of the visit was the talks at the Naval Agency of the Republic of Moldova, attended by Mr. Igor Zaharia, Director of the Agency, and Ms. Tatiana Spatari, National Secretary of the PS IGC TRACECA in the Republic of Moldova. During the meeting, the sides discussed in detail the current state of the Giurgiulesti International Free Port, the projects for its territorial expansion and the dynamics of cargo handling. The participants emphasised the growing strategic role of the port complex in the diversification of trade routes and the reconfiguration of regional logistics, noting the pressing need to strengthen the maritime component of TRACECA and to develop efficient multimodal chains together with road and railway transport. Particular attention was paid to the issues of navigation on the Danube, including ensuring sufficient depths on the Sulina Canal during periods of drought for the uninterrupted movement of cargo flows.  The outcome of all the meetings held at the agencies under the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of Moldova was the confirmation of the mutual commitment to enhancing the safety and economic attractiveness of the corridor Europe-the Caucasus-Asia. 
  Background:  The National Road Transport Agency (ANTA), the Railway Agency and the Naval Agency of Moldova are the key administrative structures under the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development of the Republic of Moldova.

Reference:

The Republic of Moldova has been a full participant in the international transport corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia since the launch of this initiative in 1993. In September 1998, the country signed the Basic Multilateral Agreement on International Transport for the Development of the Europe-Caucasus-Asia Corridor, setting a course toward integration into Eurasian logistic chains. Participation in the program allows Moldova to develop its transit potential, harmonize legislation with international standards, and actively use alternative southern and central routes to ensure the stability and profitability of its foreign trade operations.]]> Meeting Sat, 03 Oct 2026 13:49:00 +0800 https://traceca-org.org/en/news/single-news/n/seminar_on_combined_transport_jointly_with_uic/ The exact date of the event will be clarified additionally The exact date of the event will be clarified additionally]]> Seminar Workshop Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:29:00 +0800 https://traceca-org.org/en/news/single-news/n/extraordinary_meeting_of_the_igc_traceca/ The exact date of the event will be clarified additionally The exact date of the event will be clarified additionally]]> Meeting of the intergovernmental commission Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:17:00 +0800 https://traceca-org.org/en/news/single-news/n/joint_traceca_and_unece/ Seminar Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:05:00 +0800 https://traceca-org.org/en/news/single-news/n/global_gateway_priorities_traceca_builds_up_the_soft_infrastructure_capacity_of_the_trans_caspian_c/ On 30 September 2026, the Second National Conference on the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor (TCTC)... “First of all, the corridor must be viewed as a single system, including the countries of the South Caucasus. Converting documentation into electronic format and harmonising customs procedures will ensure predictability of timeframes and financial terms, which will increase the attractiveness of the TCTC for investors and users”.  The discussion was also attended by H.E. Ambassador Toivo Klaar, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Uzbekistan, who noted the importance of mobilising public and private investment for the implementation of these priorities.  In his statement, Mr. Jasurbek Choriev, Secretary General of the Permanent Secretariat of the IGC TRACECA, presented practical tools for digitalisation and further institutional development being developed on the organisation’s platform. “The competitiveness of the corridor depends directly on the development of its soft infrastructure – the speed, reliability and mutual interoperability of information systems”, he noted.  According to the speaker, the foundation for this work is the new draft TRACECA Strategy for 2027-2036, which identifies digital interoperability, the introduction of smart logistics solutions and the creation ofcross-border digital hubs as key long-term benchmarks.  At the same time, the practical transition to a paperless environment across the TRACECA area is already being implemented through the phased introduction of intergovernmental agreements and pilot platforms. An effective model for removing administrative barriers in road transport will be the Agreement on Single Transit Permit between Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine signed in Astana in May 2026, which makes it possible to completely eliminate paper forms in transit.  In parallel, in rail transport, five rounds of testing of the e-CIM/SMGS electronic consignment note were successfully completed by six states under the auspices of the organisation, which confirmed the readiness of the corridor for the transition to multimodal data sets. The management of JSC “O‘zbekiston Temir Yo‘llari” officially expressed interest in joining the project at the next stage. In order to consolidate the end-to-end legal force of such procedures, active preparation is currently under way of a dedicated Agreement on the Use of Electronic Documents in Multimodal Cross-Border Operations along the entire TRACECA route.  In conclusion of the session, the participants emphasised the need for close coordination of efforts between governments, international institutions and business in order to prevent the digital fragmentation of routes. The PS IGC TRACECA confirmed its readiness for further active engagement with all parties with a view to the digital integration of transport networks across Eurasia.
  For reference:  This event is a direct logical continuation of the large-scale  Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor and Connectivity Investors Forum, held in Tashkent on 27 November 2025 within the framework of the EU Global Gateway initiative. The 2025 meeting laid the foundation for transforming the Middle Corridor from a theoretical concept into a commercially competitive route by putting together a package of investment agreements. The Second National Conference of 2026 is intended to translate the strategic arrangements reached in 2025 into practical terms – specific soft infrastructure reforms and pilot digitalisation projects.  ]]> Conference Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:13:00 +0800 https://traceca-org.org/en/news/single-news/n/secretary_general_of_the_ps_igc_traceca_guest_of_honour_at_the_second_azerbaijan_international_i/ Mr Jasurbek Choriev, Secretary General of the PS IGC TRACECA, took part as a guest of honour in the...   Background: The Second Azerbaijan International Investment Forum (AIIF 2026) is a leading global platform aimed at showcasing Azerbaijan’s open and sustainable business environment and presenting large-scale projects in priority sectors of the economy.
