It is necessary to prepare a document to form a unified logistics system of the Turkic-speaking states, chairman of Azerbaijan’s State Customs Committee, Lieutenant-General of Customs Service Safar Mehdiyev said.

It was also noted at the meeting that the ties in the customs sphere, just like in all spheres, are at a high level. It was said that a vivid example of this is the exchange of information among the CCTS member states, the signing of agreements and protocols, the implementation of a test project for the early transfer of information.
