(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 28. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is implementing a number of pilot projects using artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies to track the origins of goods, and intends to intensify efforts to digitalize trade and develop interoperable transport and logistics platforms in the Eurasian region, UNECE Deputy Executive Secretary Dmitry Maryasin said at the Eurasian Economic Forum, Trend reports.

According to him, one of the key areas of work will be developing the interoperability of digital platforms and harmonizing rules within Eurasian transport corridors.

"We are working on several pilot projects using artificial intelligence and blockchain to track the origin of goods and increase transparency. This is especially important for manufacturers in Central Asian countries, given their priority access to international markets," he said.

Maryasin noted that the electronic version of the TIR system (eTIR) is being actively implemented in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union and will allow for a fully digitalized interaction between customs authorities, significantly reducing border crossing times.

He emphasized that the UNECE also supports countries in the region in developing multimodal transport and creating compatible digital solutions.
