ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 22. The Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan has reached agreements with Türkiye and China on the transition to the exchange and issuance of electronic foreign permit forms for road cargo transportation, Trend reports.
At the same time, the Ministry continues to work on creating a national intelligent transport system (ITS). Here, existing information systems, hardware and software systems, and digital projects planned for implementation will be interconnected.
According to the Ministry, today, together with interested government agencies, detailed technical documentation for the creation of ITS is being developed. In 2024, it is planned to approve the necessary documents and begin the actual implementation of the project.
At the initial stage, ITS will cover road cargo transportation, but in the future, it will also cover all other modes of transport.
Meanwhile, on April 15, a joint order of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan came into force on the transfer to an electronic form of obtaining permits for the transportation of goods of the type "to/from third countries" for Kazakh carriers.
As a result, this mechanism will allow carriers to simplify cargo transportation with Uzbekistan and eliminate speculation with places in the queue and the transfer of permit forms to third parties.
