In mid-April, Astrakhan will host the fifth international forum focused on transport and logistics development in the Caspian region. The event will bring together business leaders, government officials, and industry experts to address current challenges and explore practical solutions in the transport sector.

The forum is expected to serve as an effective platform for discussing optimization tools, improving cross-border logistics chains, and enhancing cooperation among Caspian countries.

The agenda is structured in two stages. On the first day, participants will take part in guided visits to key logistics facilities in the region. The second day will feature a plenary session with expert presentations and analytical discussions. Representatives of ports, shipping companies, railway operators, and investors are expected to attend.

The forum holds particular importance for Turkmenistan, which is actively expanding the capacity of the Turkmenbashi International Seaport and developing land transport routes within the North–South international transport corridor. Such events support Turkmenistan’s growing role as a strategic logistics hub in the Caspian region.
