As stated by the Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) national railway company, these plans were approved during a Feb. 21 meeting between KTZ Chairman Nurlan Sauranbayev and Fan Hongwei, party secretary of Xi’an.
Kazakhstan will complete a full-fledged East-West terminal network by 2026, including the logistics centers and terminals planned for 2025 in Svisloch, Belarus and Budapest, Hungary.
The volume of transportation at the Xi’an joint cargo terminal, a key hub on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, increased 33fold last year. Over 5,000 trains departed from the Xi’an dry port in the China-Europe direction, accounting for 25% of all shipments on this route — a record high.
Kazakhstan and Xi’an dry port also advance international logistics projects, exceeding $200 million in investments.
