He noted that the opening of automobile roads and railway bridges on the border with Russia was held a while ago: "We are cooperating with Russia and Iran for development of the North-South corridor. Despite applied restrictions regarding pandemic, we have never suspended transit cargo transportation. Cargos have been transported from Iran to Russia and in the opposite direction through Azerbaijan. I should say that cargo transportation has increased in comparison with the previous year by 19% last year during the pandemic. It already means cooperation itself. I think that we can achieve better indicators thanks to such cooperation."
