Kyrgyzstan calls for fewer cargo transport barriers in the EAEU

Kyrgyzstan said it will seek to reduce barriers to international cargo transport and expand access to transport corridors within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Transport and Communications Minister Talantbek Soltobaev made the statement at the 11th meeting of the Council of heads of transport agencies of EAEU countries in Astana, according to the Ministry of Transport's press service.

The meeting took place on 15 October as part of the NEW SILK WAY international transport and logistics business forum. According to Kazakhstan's Ministry of Transport, participants discussed a 2027–2029 action plan, development of the East–West and North–South corridors, digitalisation of transport, and the introduction of the electronic e-CMR international consignment note. The measures aim to cut time and administrative costs and speed up border procedures.
