Lithuania: Lithuania invites Turkey to join Viking project
- We invite Turkey to join the Viking project’s development and we hope that they will find it economically useful – said Eligijus Masiulis, the minister of transport of Lithuania, after a meeting in Vilnius with the Turkish ambassador.
Perspectives for Viking and Zubr container trains were discussed in December last year in Odessa by representatives of transport agencies from Ukraine, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia and Kazakhstan.
Participants of the meeting analyzed results of operations of Viking and Zubr and discussed possibilities of expanding their services.
The combined train Viking, set up in 2003, is a joint project of Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian railways, seaport cargo companies, and Klaipėda, Ilyitchovsk and Odessa seaports.
