"Khanoba" customs checkpoint is the most important element of the North-South Transport Corridor.

APA reports that this was said by Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexey Overchuk, speaking at the opening ceremony of the reconstructed "Khanoba" state border crossing point on the border of Azerbaijan and Russia.

"I am very glad that a convenient crossing point meeting modern requirements has been made available to people on the Azerbaijan-Russia border," Overchuk said.

"This crossing point is the most important element of the North-South Transport Corridor, which we have reconstructed together with Azerbaijan, and this corridor will serve the efficient and uninterrupted passage of goods from Pakistan and India to Russia, passing through Iran and Azerbaijan.

This corridor will be the most important transport highway of the 21st century, and today the first important element of the corridor has been commissioned," Overchuk said.
