Ports and rail networks play an important role to keep the economies running, particularly for countries like Azerbaijan and the United States. Yesterday, Ambassador Litzenberger delivered remarks at the first session of a three-day “Connecting Eurasia: Smart Ports and Rail Forum” to highlight the important role American companies can play to promote Azerbaijan as a regional transport and logistics hub. With over $1.6 trillion spent on the transportation sector in the United States alone, American companies are world leaders in this field and can contribute state-of-the-art technologies and services to this growing sector in Azerbaijan.
