12.09.2025

A meeting was held in Beijing between the Chairman of the Board of JSC Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) Talgat Aldybergenov and Deputy Director General of the State Corporation China Railways Wang Lixin

The talks were devoted to increasing transportation volumes, developing the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), and CRCT’s participation in the MSM joint venture.

The parties noted that the completion of infrastructure projects will expand the capacity for receiving and delivering trains at the Dostyk-Alashankou junction by 2026. The Chinese side confirmed its readiness to synchronize the development of its infrastructure. At the same time, transportation plans and the range of goods for 2026 will be considered in detail at a meeting of the mixed commission scheduled for September 22-26 in Almaty.

Special attention is paid to the construction of the third railway crossing Bakhty-Ayagoz, which is planned to be commissioned in early 2028. By the end of this year, the parties intend to determine the specialization of the terminals and the list of goods that will pass through the new corridor.

EU-China Trade and Investment Relations in Challenging Times
Trade continues to be the least problematic aspect of the EU-China economic relationship. The BRI offers potential trade gains for Europe by improving physical connectivity with countries along the route to China, but it also poses challenges for the EU. While Chinese investment in Europe is growing and has focused strongly on technology, it raises the question of whether the EU should fear losing its technological edge, especially when Chinese state-owned companies might distort competition through foreign acquisitions.
