Container Train Hits Record Traveling From China To Uzbekistan
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 8. A container train
traveling from Cihna's Xi'an to Uzbekistan's Tashkent on the
China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan route has arrived in record time,
Trend reports via
Akorda, the president of Kazakhstan's press service.
President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and President of
Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev attended the train's arrival
ceremony.
This achievement is the fruit of agreements made in April in
Khiva city, where the ball was set rolling for cargo transportation
along the China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan route and the development of
the Trans-Afghan direction. These agreements paved the way for
expedited delivery, making it a breeze.
The container train covered 4,486 km in just five days,
departing from Xi'an's port terminal, passing through Kazakhstan,
and arriving in Tashkent.
The record transportation time was achieved through leveraging
Kazakhstan's terminal facilities in China and the effective
collaboration between the railway administrations of Kazakhstan and
Uzbekistan to enhance border infrastructure.
To note, last year, cargo transportation between these countries
exceeded 31 million tons, marking a 17.2 percent increase from
2022.
