ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 25. Kazakhstan and the
Tyumen region of Russia have considered issues of cooperation in
the transport and logistics sector, Trend reports.
Discussions on this topic took place between the Prime Minister
of Kazakhstan, Olzhas Bektenov, and the Governor of the Tyumen
Region, Aleksandr Moor.
Thus, the parties discussed a project for the reconstruction of
the automobile cargo-passenger multilateral checkpoint across the
state border.
As part of a comprehensive overhaul, it is planned to expand the
entry groups within the existing borders of the checkpoint and
install 2 lanes for cargo traffic and 4 lanes for passenger
traffic. The implementation of the project will increase the
capacity of the border crossing point and increase trade and
economic ties.

the Tyumen region amounted to $113.3 million from January through
May.
Meanwhile, the volume of trade turnover between Kazakhstan and
Russia amounted to $9.7 billion from January through May 2024. This
is 12.5 percent less than in the same period in 2023 ($11.1
billion).
Kazakhstan's exports to Russia in the first five months of 2024
amounted to $3.36 billion, which is 21.5 percent less year-on-year
($4.3 billion).
In addition, imports from Russia from January through May 2024
decreased by 6.7 percent to $6.3 billion. For the same period in
2023, this figure was $6.8 billion.
