MOSCOW, Russia, October 8. The effective trade and economic cooperation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries is closely linked to the development of transport corridors, President of Kazakhstan Kasym-Jomart Tokayev said at a limited meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the CIS countries in Moscow, Trend reports.
According to him, Kazakhstan has already started a large-scale expansion of its railroad infrastructure on major international routes.
“Last year I proposed to develop a concept of interfacing the main transportation arteries running through the territories of the CIS member states. I think this work could be completed as soon as possible. In general, qualitative synchronization of such global projects as “One Belt - One Road”, “North-South”, the Trans-Caspian route, and others will allow for building a unified concept of economic, institutional, and transport development on the Eurasian continent,” Kasym-Jomart Tokayev noted.
