It is planned to commission a new transportation and logistics center in October 2016 in the southern Kazakhstan, said the press service of Samruk Kazyna National Welfare Fund Apr. 15.
The project is being implemented by Kazakhstan Railways ("Kazakhstan Temir Zholy" JSC), which is a member of the Fund.
The new center is located in two kilometers distance from Shymkent International Airport, four kilometers - from the Western Europe - Western China International Transit Corridor and 500 meters - from the Trans-Asian Railway (TAR).
