Infrastructure
Russian Railways and Azerbaijan Railways to cooperate on transport corridors criss- crossing Eurasia
Construction of Polish- Lithuanian gas link
to kick off in autumn, Lithuanian official says
Russian Railways and Azerbaijan Railways have signed a memorandum on developing a co-operative strategy facilitating the creation of Eurasian transport corridors that stretch across countries including Turkey, Iran and Georgia, railway-news.com reported on May 7.
The memorandum signatories, director general and chairman of the board of Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov and chairman of Azerbaijan Railways Javid Gurbanov, met in Baku.
Company policies are to be aimed at developing and operating Eurasian international transport corridors with an eye on ensuring optimal transport conditions for import, export and transit.
Construction of the Lithuanian section of a gas pipeline to link the Polish and Lithuanian gas transmission networks will begin this autumn, CEO of the Lithuanian gas grid company Amber Grid said on May 7.
The project is set to plug the Baltic gas network into that of the EU. Brussels is pushing to end the Baltic states’ status of an “energy island”, bequeathed by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania's recent history inside the Soviet Union.
Infrastructure links to the rest of the EU – to which the Baltic states are only directly attached via a 140-kilometre strip of land, the Lithuanian-Polish border – are seen as critical for the regional security.
