The United States-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC) and the America-Georgia Business Council hosted a roundtable with Rolande Pryce, the World Bank’s Regional Director for the South Caucasus, on the Middle Corridor and regional cooperation.

The discussion focused on the investments and operational improvements needed to make the route more reliable: stronger rail and port connections, more efficient border procedures, better logistics coordination, and digitalization. These steps can help turn growing interest in the corridor into trade and investment opportunities across Central Asia, the South Caucasus, Türkiye, and Europe.

Thank you to Ms. Pryce; Vinay Chawla, Acting Special Representative for Commercial and Business Affairs and Ambassador Ann Marie Yastishock of the U.S. Department of State; our co-host Mamuka Tsereteli; and everyone who joined the conversation.

Today, on International Day for Biological Diversity, sturgeon juveniles were released into the wild in the Caspian Sea. Natig Bakhishov, USACC Executive Director attended the release ceremony in the Neftchala district, a region widely recognized for its rich fishery and aquaculture traditions.

Our team also visited Azerbaijan Fish Farm’s sturgeon facility. The company’s use of advanced technologies and sustainable farming protocols helps ensure the protection and growth of sturgeon populations in the Caspian basin.

The release ceremony, co-organized by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Azerbaijan and private fish farms, stands as an excellent example of public-private partnership contributing to the preservation and restoration of Ponto-Caspian sturgeon species.
