ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, March 28. Belarus and
Turkmenistan have reached an agreement on the allocation of permits
for international road freight transport for 2027, thereby
facilitating streamlined procedures for carriers from both nations,
Trend reports via the
Belarus Ministry of Transport and Communications.
The agreement was reached during a session of the
Belarus-Turkmenistan Joint Committee on International Road
Transport held in Minsk.
In accordance with the principles of reciprocity, drivers
operating vehicles authorized for international road transport and
equipped with digital tachographs compliant with TIR requirements
will be permitted to operate in both countries.
The participants also addressed measures to simplify
administrative procedures for Belarusian carriers operating in
Turkmenistan and to extend the allowable duration of drivers’ stays
within the country.
Additionally, in December 2025, the Belarusian logistics
operator Beltamozhservice inaugurated a new express rail route for
exporting goods to Iran via Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. This
service is expected to facilitate international container shipments
along the Belarus–Russia–Kazakhstan–Turkmenistan–Iran corridor.
Delivery along the route requires approximately two weeks,
establishing it as one of the fastest and most convenient transport
options in the region.
