ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 29. It is necessary to
establish a fully-fledged ecosystem of digital transport corridors
within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Kazakh President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said during a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian
Economic Council in Astana, Trend reports.
He noted that the Eurasian transport framework represents a
high-tech system of international routes connecting key markets in
Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. It consists of an extensive
network of through corridors with a total length of more than
50,000 kilometers, of which over 10,000 kilometers pass through
Kazakhstan.
“To maintain a key role in the global system of trade and
economic relations, we all need further development and
digitalization of cross-border infrastructure. Flexible logistics
solutions, supply stability, and faster cargo processing will
significantly increase transit flows within the Eurasian Economic
Union. That is why, since the end of last year, we have been
systematically introducing such a tool as smart cargo, operating on
a single-window principle,” Tokayev said.
Moreover, he added that, within this platform, work is underway
to digitalize transport corridors.
“In Kazakhstan, an electronic permit exchange mechanism has been
introduced with neighboring countries, including Azerbaijan, China,
Kazakhstan, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan. Mutual integration of
information systems within the Union is a requirement of the time.
In this regard, the Eurasian Economic Commission’s work on creating
a digital showcase of national services is highly relevant,” he
said.
