Kazakhstan sends 1st wheat shipment to Armenia via Azerbaijan in 30 years

In a landmark development, Kazakhstan has successfully dispatched its first wheat shipment to Armenia via Azerbaijan in over 30 years. This historic move was facilitated by recent agreements between the leaders of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, which reopened transit routes through Azerbaijani territory. The shipment, consisting of 15 rail wagons, crossed the Azerbaijani border on Thursday and is en route to Dalarik railway station in Armenia, where it is expected to arrive within days. The initiative marks a significant step in enhancing regional trade and logistics connectivity in the South Caucasus. According to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Agriculture, this new transit route not only expands the export potential of Kazakh grain but also strengthens economic and trade cooperation among neighboring countries. The resumption of this trade corridor underscores the growing diplomatic and economic ties in the region, paving the way for future collaborative ventures.
