public-private partnership will enhance Azerbaijan’s role in the
global logistics and transport, Minister Rashad Nabiyev said at the
meeting with representatives of transport companies, the Ministry
of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan told Trend.
During the meeting, the participants exchanged views on the road
transport reforms, expanding access of local carriers to
international transport, as well as the importance of using digital
technologies in the field of transport. Moreover, Nabiyev talked
about the development of road freight, as well as about measures
and incentives in this area.
The minister outlined the Rules for international road passenger
and freight transport, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers on
April 8, 2022, which would be applied from April 2023.
“As part of these rules, all drivers must have an employment
contract. In addition, the responsible person and drivers should be

certain requirements for the carrier company, and the Ministry of

procedures,” the minister noted.
“Furthermore, we have prepared proposals to change the current
legislative acts regulating the road transport sector. The adoption
of these documents will help creating an information system of the
