With China building east-west transportation links, Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry proposed two Black Sea projects

With China building east-west transportation links, Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry proposed two Black Sea projects at a recent meeting in Brussels of the EU-China Joint Platform. Viktor Dovhan, deputy Infrastructure minister, proposed a concession contract to build a rail-ferry complex at Chornomorsk. To feed cargo to this complex, Dovhan called for investment to integrate the east-west railroads of Georgia and Azerbaijan. For these projects, Ukraine hopes to attract financing from the EBRD, the China Development Bank and the Export–Import Bank of China.
