Azerbaijan, Baku, April 2 / Trend , E.Ismayilov, A.Badalova/
A memorandum on controlling ships at state harbors is an important element for the Caspian Sea. It will harmonize the state harbor system, Russian Transport Minister Igor Levitin said at the first meeting of the Caspian transport ministers in Baku.
Levitin said Russia is simplifying procedures to allow Caspian ships into its domestic waters.
"Caspian littoral countries are our partners. The Caspian connects us," Levitin said.
Caspian littoral countries must also cooperate in the technology and transport sectors, he added.
"A regional information system controlling shipping in the Russian sections of the Azov-Black and Caspian seas was created for safety purposes," the minister said.
Russia invites all Caspian countries to create an international shipping control system, Levitin added.
