Ankara Declaration signed at end of Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan trilateral meeting, says Hakan Fidan

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday hailed the Middle Corridor as the most reliable, swift, and cost-effective trade route connecting Asia and Europe.

"The most reliable, fastest, and economical route between Asia and Europe is the Central Asia-Caspian Sea-South Caucasus-Türkiye corridor," Fidan said in a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani and Uzbek counterparts.

Fidan noted that supply chains in the world have been disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and the recent developments in the Middle East.

Underlining that the largest trade volume in the world takes place between Asia and Europe, Fidan said: “Türkiye, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan are at the heart of this route.”

The press conference was held following the second trilateral meeting of Türkiye, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan's ministries of foreign affairs, transport, and trade.

Fidan announced that the Ankara Declaration was signed at the end of the trilateral meeting.
