On November 21, the First Kazakhstan-Armenia Business Council met in Astana, bringing together representatives of government agencies, businesses, and industry associations from both countries. Participants noted the growing potential for cooperation in industry, logistics, and technology exchange, while key national companies presented industry reports on the current status and prospects of the partnership.
Particular attention was paid to Kazakhstan’s development as a transit hub. Zhaslan Zhagparov, Deputy General Director of the KAZLOGISTICS STK association of legal entities, presented an analysis of the country’s transport and logistics system, emphasizing the need to synchronize transport planning in the region, strengthen multimodal transportation, and enhance the role of the Middle Corridor. The data presented on the Trans-Caspian route included a transportation volume of 1.568 million tons for the first 10 months of 2025 (+5%), an increase in container transit to 35,000 TEUs (+24.6%), and infrastructure modernization plans—from upgrading the Dostyk-Moiynty, Moiynty-Kyzylzhar, and Zhetygen-Altynkol routes to expanding the Aktau and Kuryk ports and launching new terminals and ferries.
KAZLOGISTICS proposed key areas of cooperation with Armenia: the construction of modern terminals and logistics centers, the digitalization of transport processes, and the introduction of unified shipping documents. During the final discussion, the parties discussed joint projects and reaffirmed their commitment to creating a unified, efficient Eurasian transport and logistics network.
