TRACECA participated in the Seminar on the preliminary findings of the Study on Sustainable Transport Connections between Europe and Central Asia held in Brussels on September 30, 2022

According to the Agenda, the participants reviewed the initial findings of the above mentioned Study, the core aim of which is to identify the most sustainable transport connections between the Central Asian states and the extended Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), as well as discussed EU-Central Asia Sustainable Transport Connections for Wider Eurasian Connectivity.
 
It is expected that findings of the Study contribute to transparency and prioritisation in terms of transport infrastructure planning and development in the Central Asian region and help to identify investment opportunities for stakeholders, including the IFIs and the private sector.
