ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 14. President of
Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev considers it important to align
the Middle Corridor project with the “Trump Route for International
Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) initiative, Trend reports via the press service of the
Kazakh president.
Speaking at the Kazakh-Turkish Business Forum, Tokayev noted
that cargo transportation volumes along the Middle Corridor have
increased more than fivefold in recent years, while container
transportation rose by 36% in 2025.
“In the near future, we intend to increase this figure to 10
million tons. In order to effectively coordinate the transit
transportation system, a unified Smart Cargo digital management
platform has been developed,” he said.
According to the president, expanding the capabilities of the
Middle Corridor meets the long-term interests of the participating
countries.
“In this regard, we have proposed the joint implementation of
the e-permit project, which will allow logistics procedures to be
carried out electronically, ensuring maximum transparency and
minimizing administrative costs. I consider it important to align
the Middle Corridor project with the ‘Trump Route for International
Peace and Prosperity’ (TRIPP) initiative,” Tokayev added.
The president also highlighted the contribution of Turkish
businesses to the development of Kazakhstan’s civil aviation
infrastructure.
He noted that TAV Holding is currently reconstructing the
international terminal of Almaty airport, while S Sistem Lojistik
has expressed interest in building a logistics center at Aktobe
airport.
According to Tokayev, the implementation of these initiatives
will help strengthen Kazakhstan’s aviation sector.
