New Silk Road Network's (NSRN) 2nd Spring Social Event was held on March 22nd and 23rd this year with the participation of our valuable members. The first day of the NSRN Spring Social event was devoted to presentations and Q&A sessions, and the second day to networking sessions. Similar to last year’s Spring Social event, our presentations are always hosted by our members and are aimed to stimulate exchange of practical info and know-how. Below is brief recap of the conversations that took place, collectively contributing to our knowledge hub.
Transit through CIS/Middle Corridor as alternative route:
The first morning kicked off with a presentation from Mr. Kemal Karaoglu from our member At-abraý/ Turkmenline. Given the impact of the current Ukraine – Russia conflict and EU sanctions against Russia, many companies pulled out from using the rail route connection via Russia and turned their attention to the so called “middle corridor”, connecting China and Turkey via the CIS region. In his presentation, Mr. Karaoglu gave a detailed overview of the current situation in the Black Sea and Caucasus region and discussed the feasibility and challenges along the Middle Corridor.
