Beijing, October 15 (Xinhua) — The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan international multimodal transport route began trial operation on Wednesday. The creation and trial operation of this corridor demonstrates Kashgar's growing importance in the international logistics network under the Belt and Road Initiative, according to the unified information center of the converged editorial office of Kashgar Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The trial operation covers two multimodal transport routes, with cargo transported by rail from Xi'an in Shaanxi Province and Chengdu in Sichuan Province to Kashgar for consolidation, and then crossing the border through the Irkeshtam border crossing. One route utilizes combined road and rail transport: trucks depart Kashgar for Kyrgyzstan, where the cargo is transferred to rail trains. The goods then travel to the international seaport of Turkmenbashi, where they then cross the Caspian Sea and reach Baku in Azerbaijan. The other route is the first to use Chinese trucks to directly transport cargo through Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan in a single trip, destined for Ashgabat.
