By strengthening international transportation corridors and logistics networks, Turkey is rising to become the main hub of trade between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

International Transportation Corridor Projects

While the Middle Corridor and the Development Road projects are being comprehensively strengthened, the efficiency of regional trade routes is increasing.

Efforts to develop the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars, Kars-Iğdır-Aralık-Dilucu, and Zangezur Corridor connections are being pursued with determination.

Integration of Railway Networks

Thanks to the Istanbul Northern Railway Crossing project, it is aimed to establish a high-capacity line for freight transportation extending from Asia and the Persian Gulf to Europe.

With the rehabilitation efforts of the Hejaz Railway, historical and economic connections with the Middle East are being further solidified.

Integration of Logistics Centers

Ports, organized industrial zones, production centers, airports, and border gates are being put into full integration with one another.

Thanks to these integration steps, it is ensured that transportation times and costs are reduced, and global supply chains are strengthened.

Fast Delivery to Global Markets

By expanding the scope of International Logistics Distribution Networks, Turkish companies are paved the way to make much faster and lower-cost deliveries to target markets.

By increasing the role in the north-south trade corridor, the country's strategic position in international trade is consolidated.
