By Fakhri Vakilov – Trend:

Uzbekistan joined the China-Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran railway corridor, Trend reports with reference to the press service of Kazakhstan Railway.

"The flow of containerized cargo has increased, especially to Uzbekistan and through the Bolashak station to Iran, with the accession of Uzbekistan, the corridor becomes significantly shorter,", first deputy chairman of Kazakhstan Railways, Kanat Almagambetov said at a meeting of railway administrations of these five countries in Almaty.

Kazakhstan Railway said that the volume of traffic along the China-Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran corridor in 2018 was 1,000 TEU (container in 20-foot equivalent).

"For the development of transit cargo from China to our countries and in other directions, it is important to develop acceptable tariff and other conditions," said Almagambetov.

During the negotiations, the importance of timely delivery of goods to increase transportation was noted. In this regard, special attention is paid to meeting the demand for fitting platforms. The parties pledged to jointly provide the full amount of shippers with rolling stock.



At the meeting, issues of attracting additional goods to the Iran-China route, the organization of regular container services and the establishment of tariff conditions along the China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Iran corridor for 2019 for loaded containers were discussed. It is also reported that since April of this year, a regular feeder service is launched on the route Aktau - Alat.

Following the meeting, the parties also agreed on integrated tariff rates.

The total length of the route China-Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran is about 10,000 kilometers. The total travel time is about two weeks, which is twice as fast as by sea, which takes 25-30 days.

The China-Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran railway route is part of the North-South international transport corridor and the first logistics solution for speedy cargo delivery from the East China coast to the markets of the Persian Gulf. In Turkmenistan, based on the needs of suppliers and carriers, there are two routes from Serkhetyak: to Serakhs, to the southeastern border with Iran, or to Akyayl and from there to the north of Iran.

The creation of this transport and transit corridor became possible after the construction of the international railway Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran. The road was opened in December 2014 with the participation of the heads of state of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran.

en.trend.az

Representatives of the "Uztextileprom" Association held a meeting with the delegation of the Council for Foreign Economic Relations of Turkey "DEIK" in Uzbekistan, Trend reports with reference to the press service of the textile association.

During negotiations with foreign partners, information was provided on the favorable business environment formed in Uzbekistan, a broad system of legal guarantees and privileges for foreign investors, customs privileges and preferences, investment potential, the banking system, and the procedure for granting loans to foreign investors.

The sides discussed prospects of introducing the water management system (Zero liquid discharge) in Uzbekistan using Turkish technologies, which provide comprehensive solutions to water purification and industrial wastewater.

It worth noting that wastewater, which contains a wide range of contaminants, is formed when finishing textile materials.

Moreover, soluble dyes are a big problem, because few cleansing technologies are available and dissolved dyes are not sufficiently eliminated in municipal wastewater treatment plants.

Following the meeting, the parties reached an agreement on the introduction of the latest Turkish technologies in the implementation of projects of the textile and garment and knitwear industry.

We've done some rebranding, introduced new models, and are now ready to offer a modern lineup of vehicles, which are absolutely competitive on international markets. I hope they will be in demand on the Belarusian market.”
Uzbekistan can also increase shipments of a broad range of fabrics, textiles as well as various non-ferrous metals to Belarus. The textile industries in Uzbekistan and Belarus are well-developed. They could complement each other, the deputy prime minister believes.
In his opinion, with current dynamics Belarus-Uzbekistan trade can reach $1 billion as per instructions of the heads of state within the next three years. “We believe it is very important to step up joint work in the spheres of manufacturing sector, mechanical engineering, light and food industries, agriculture, and pharmaceutics,” Elyor Ganiyev stressed. The bilateral trade can also grow higher if more of popular products are sold on the Belarusian market and the Uzbek one. The sides are now taking care of the certification of merchandise. “We have to finish the reconciliation of matters concerning the mutual recognition of conformance certificates, results of lab tests. Work in this area is already in progress. I think it will greatly facilitate access of Belarusian vehicles and machines to the Uzbek market among other things,” Elyor Ganiyev said. Besides, the Uzbek side is interested in setting up a simpler mechanism of customs control for deliveries of fruits and vegetables.
