"One of the key sections of the China-Central Asia-Europe route is the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route. At the current stage, this artery has acquired strategic importance" Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev added that given that China is the main cargo shipper, it is necessary to intensify joint efforts to ensure maximum and uninterrupted loading of this route.
