Tbilisi, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — Georgia has launched regular container block train service on the Poti-Tbilisi-Poti route, which will significantly enhance the role of rail transport in the country's logistics system and increase Georgia's attractiveness as a transit hub of the Middle Corridor, the Georgian Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development said on Wednesday.

The block trains will operate four times a week. According to the schedule, they will depart from Poti at 21:30 and arrive in Tbilisi at 09:47 the following day. Regardless of the occupancy of the trains, the schedule will remain unchanged, which will allow shippers to plan logistics in advance.

According to Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia Guram Guramishvili, the launch of block trains will significantly increase the logistical efficiency of the Poti port. “Containers will be delivered directly, without intermediate operations, which will reduce the overall transportation time and increase the punctuality of delivery of export-import cargo,” he emphasized.

G. Guramishvili also noted that Tbilisi is becoming increasingly important as a logistics center, from where cargo can be quickly delivered not only within Georgia, but also to neighboring Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The initiative is seen as part of efforts to develop the Middle Corridor /Trans-Caspian International Transport Route/ – an international route connecting Europe and Asia via the South Caucasus, the Caspian Sea and Central Asia. –0–

Malaysian citizens have become the first foreigners to try out a new payment mechanism, the Tourist Card, which can be used to pay for accommodation, transportation, museum visits and other expenses via remote replenishment. This was reported by Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, commenting on the results of the official meeting between President Vladimir Putin and King of Malaysia Sultan Ibrahim.

One of the first users of the card was Malaysian Senator Jasiri Alkaf. He successfully used this payment instrument during his visit to St. Petersburg as part of the SPIEF-2025.

"Tourists from Malaysia have increasingly begun to visit Russia. In the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period last year, the tourist flow doubled," noted Maxim Reshetnikov.

The number of Russians visiting Malaysia is also growing. In 2024, this figure exceeded the pre-COVID level by 64% compared to 2019. Since July 2025, the validity of the electronic visa has been increased from 60 to 120 days, and the length of stay from 16 to 30 days. At present, about 5 thousand people have used this mechanism.

The minister also noted the growth in trade turnover between the countries. "In January-May 2025, the growth was 40%, while Russian exports to Malaysia more than doubled," said Maxim Reshetnikov. "Our manufacturers supply fertilizers, mineral products, oil, and coal. Business is working on the supply of Russian pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. We pay special attention to the certification of Russian meat and dairy products for supplies to Malaysia."

In addition, according to the Ministry of Economic Development, Russian enterprises are showing interest in localizing production in Malaysia. Plans include organizing joint business missions in special economic zones of Russia and ASEAN countries.
