The Trans-Caspian Transportation Route is developing very well within the revival of the Great Silk Road and the volume of cargo transportation via this corridor is large enough,” he told Trend, further adding that China hopes that the cooperation will be even more successful. "We welcome Azerbaijani companies' intentions to work with China,” he said, further noting that China expects the cargo flow to the country via railway to increase with help of Azerbaijani companies' products.
