The countries of Central Asia and the Caspian region, being at a strategically important hub of advantageous transport links, are currently putting forward initiatives to implement large-scale national and regional projects to create an extensive international transport, transit and logistics infrastructure. These projects, significantly reducing the distance and time of transcontinental and transnational cargo flows, indicate the need to consolidate joint efforts to create favorable conditions for increasing the cargo transportation from Central Asia to China and Europe. ///nCa, 8 April 2023
