Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan and China launched a new cargo transportation route, the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan said in a statement.

In the message, the department notes that the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan and the Association of International Road Carriers of Uzbekistan, in cooperation with the relevant ministries and departments of the People’s Republic of China, began implementing a new cargo transportation route.

The new trade route establishes a link between Uzbekistan and the city of Qingdao in eastern China, providing fast, cost-effective and safe cargo transportation.

National carriers of Uzbekistan, using the TIR Carnet, successfully carry out cargo transportation in both directions along this route, transiting through Kazakhstan through Khorgos to the city of Qingdao, located on the coast of the Yellow Sea in China.

To ensure door-to-door delivery of goods along this new trade corridor by road, the Ministry of Transport provides practical support to enterprises, including issuing visas for drivers, providing international transport permit forms, and promptly resolving issues that arise during customs control in foreign countries.
