The 16th Caspian International Transport, Transit and Logistics exhibition "TransCaspian/Translogistica 2017" has kicked off at Baku Expo Center.
 
The event is organized by the company Iteca Caspian with the support of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies and TRACECA.
 
The 3-day exhibition has brought together key public transport authorities and commercial organizations engaged in the rail sector, maritime industry, aviation, commercial vehicles and transport & logistics services.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the exhibition, Minister of Transport, Communications and High Technologies Ramin Guluzade expressed his gratitude to the organizers and partners of the event.
 
He said that along with displaying the latest technologies and innovations, this year's exhibition serves as a platform for exchanging experiences and establishing new partnerships.
 
 "As a result of the effective state policy, which is being conducted under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev towards the development and modernization of the transport sector, the volume of cargo and passenger traffic in the railway, air and water transport has increased. Huge investments have been made in the creation of a reliable and modern transit infrastructure. And today, this infrastructure enables us to turn these investments into profits.    
 
Playing the role of a bridge between East and West, Azerbaijan is regarded as one of the main transit partners in the world. At present, the largest seaport is being built on the Caspian Sea.
 
Creation of a special free economic zone near the seaport offers wide opportunities for investing in our country. 
 
A lot of work is ahead of us.       
 
I believe that we will successfully fulfil all the tasks set before us", Ramin Guluzade said.
 
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Executive Director of the company ITE Group Edward Stroon stressed the importance of the TransCaspian exhibition, which has taken a rightful place among the international exhibitions held in Azerbaijan.
