ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 10. The preparation
of the concept for the connection of the main transport arteries
passing through the territories of the CIS countries, initiated by
Kazakhstan, is nearing completion, President of Kazakhstan
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said while speaking at the meeting of the
Council of CIS Heads of State, Trend reports via the press service of the Kazakh
president.
He also said that, to effectively manage freight flows, reduce
costs, and minimize risks, this document should be supplemented
with provisions for the implementation of artificial intelligence
technologies.
Tokayev emphasized that productive trade and economic
cooperation are only possible with the presence of actively
functioning transport corridors.
“Our vast region has traditionally served as a link between
Europe and Asia, playing a special role in the global transport and
logistics system. The North-South Corridor provides CIS countries
with direct access to the markets of the Persian Gulf and South
Asia. At the same time, the East-West and Trans-Caspian routes, in
conjunction with China’s Belt and Road megaproject, are
transforming the CIS into a unique land bridge across Eurasia,” the
president added.
