The new corridor will speed up the transportation of goods to the republic from the ports of the Yellow Sea.
The Ministry of Transport announced the launch of a new route for road freight transportation to Uzbekistan from China.
The department worked on organizing the corridor together with the Union of International Road Carriers, as well as government agencies of the PRC. It is expected that it will speed up the delivery of goods between the republic and the ports of the Yellow Sea in a door-to-door manner.
The corridor for carriers with a TIR Carnet document begins in the city of Qingdao and runs through the whole of China from east to west to Khorgos, and then in transit through Kazakhstan.
