New Road Connects Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan
New Road Connects Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is pushing for increased cooperation in transportation with Uzbekistan and other countries in the Economic Cooperation Organization. Prime Minister Alikhan Smaylov shared this initiative at the recent OIC summit in Tashkent. He stressed the importance of enhancing transport and logistics in the region, especially since many countries lack access to the ocean.
A focus is on the Trans-Caspian Corridor, with Kazakhstan working with Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey to expand its capacity. The Beyneu-Shalkar highway is planned to provide direct access from Uzbekistan to western regions in Kazakhstan, becoming part of the TRACEKA eighth highway corridor.
To facilitate cargo transportation between China and Central Asia, the goal is to handle 500,000 containers annually. Consideration is given to constructing separate station roads at the China-Kazakhstan checkpoints.
Additionally, efforts are underway to develop the "North-South" corridor. Kazakhstan, along with Iran, Turkmenistan, and Russia, has adopted a roadmap to increase its capacity to 15 million tons by 2027.
