Turkiye recently set up a Quadrilateral Ministerial Coordination Council with Serbia, Hungary and Bulgaria to boost transport and logistics cooperation in the region. At the council’s first meeting held in Istanbul, representatives from the four sides signed deals on implementing projects for improving rail connectivity among the countries.

"We are taking a new step every day in the development of the Middle Corridor, which has become a centre of attraction," Turkish minister of transport and infrastructure Adil Karaismailoglu said in a press release. The Middle Corridor is a trans-Caspian transport route that links Turkey and Europe with China.

This cooperation would significantly contribute to the improvement of this trade corridor, the Turkish minister was quoted as saying by a news wire.

The council declared that it aims to have a railroad transportation volume of over 440 million tonnes through the Middle Corridor within 30 years compared to today's 38 million tonnes.
