Baku, Aug. 12 /Xinhua/ — Azerbaijan Railways recorded an 80 percent year-on-year increase in the number of freight trains from China in the first seven months of 2025, with 225 block trains arriving in Azerbaijan from China, the company said on Tuesday.

During the reporting period, approximately 24,000 TEU (twenty-foot container equivalent units) of cargo were transported, which is almost double the volume handled in the first seven months of 2024. This reflects the steady growth of trade along the Middle Corridor (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route).

Over the past year, Azerbaijan Railways recorded the arrival of 287 block trains from China. By the end of 2025, the company predicts the arrival of more than 400 trains, highlighting the growing importance of the corridor. –0–
