Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Yavuz Selim Kiran on Wednesday touted the potential of a new transnational infrastructure initiative that would create new transport routes to connect East Asia to Europe.

The "Trans-Caspian East-West Middle Corridor", also known as the "Middle Corridor", would effectively create high-speed rail lines that could ship cargo from the eastern parts of Asia to Europe within two weeks, connecting China through Central Asia, the Caspian Sea and all the way to the Caucasus region.

The corridor, which is yet to be completed, aims to expand markets, create large economic scales and help develop regional cooperation in Eurasia. Haber</a>
