The Middle Corridor project is very important. Events in the Middle East have shown us that everyone is trying to diversify trade routes and reduce risks - Kallas

The summit taking place here in Yerevan is showing how important the Caucasus is, especially now when there`s a war in Iran. Such a statement the High Representative of the European Union made in Yerevan, where the eighth summit of the European Political Community is taking place.

When asked how important the Middle Corridor and Georgia are in this geopolitical situation, Kaja Kallas replied:

"The Middle Corridor is very important. Given what is happening in the Middle East, everyone is also looking at how to diversify trade routes and reduce the risks of a single route being closed. That`s why connectivity and these routes are extremely significant. Of course, we need to consider what we can do in this regard and identify our partners.

Regarding the relationship between Georgia and Europe, if we look at the geography, we see which countries are involved. The Caucasus region comprises several countries, and ongoing discussions focus on what we can do to improve connectivity along this corridor".
