According to the ambassador, Kazakhstan and Belarus take part in the China-Europe-China railway container transport project. Belarus and Kazakhstan pay special attention to the development of transit potential and attraction of transit cargo flows. “In recent years, world practice in competition for global transit shows a positive trend in the transition to containerization of goods and the overall development of container transportation.
