ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 21. The volume of
container transportation from Russia to China through Kazakhstan
increased by 63 percent in the first nine months of 2024, Trend reports.
The data was revealed during the 25th meeting of the
Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) on Cooperation between
Kazakhstan and Russia, held in Moscow.
The meeting emphasized the growing cooperation between the two
countries in the transport and logistics sectors. At the same time,
container traffic along the China-Europe-China route, which runs
through both Russia and Kazakhstan, increased by 65 percent
compared to the same period of 2023.
To further enhance cargo flow along the China-Kazakhstan-Russia
corridor, the parties agreed to explore the construction of
critical transport infrastructure near Selyatino station.
In April, the CRK Terminal project was launched at this station,
aimed at establishing a modern transport and logistics hub. This
joint initiative will support the efficient handling of cargo
traveling from Xi'an (China) through Dostyk/Altynkol (Kazakhstan)
to Selyatino (Russia), bolstering the development of international
transport corridors and improving the competitiveness of transit
shipments through Kazakhstan.
The Kazakh delegation also raised concerns over Russia's
restrictions on importing certain Kazakh agricultural products due
to quarantine measures. The parties agreed to hold bilateral
consultations to resolve the issue promptly.
In addition to transport, the meeting reviewed the broader state
of bilateral cooperation in areas such as trade, industry, energy,
finance, culture, science, education, and tourism.
Meanwhile, from January through August 2024, trade turnover
between Kazakhstan and Russia reached $17.2 billion.
