During the New Silk Road International Transport Forum held in Astana, the Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan and China Qianfang Technology Group signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in unmanned transportation and digital development in the transportation field.

This document lays the foundation for long-term cooperation between the two parties in introducing autonomous driving technology and digital solutions in the transportation field.

At present, Kazakhstan is continuously promoting the construction of international transportation corridors and improving transportation efficiency by introducing modern technology, fully unleashing its transit transportation potential.

This year, Kazakhstan and Russia have launched pilot operations of unmanned freight trucks on the Astana Moscow route. As one of the next steps of cooperation, Kazakhstan plans to explore with China the feasibility of carrying out similar pilot projects on certain sections of international transportation corridors.

This move will help promote the development of international road transportation between Kazakhstan and China, and further strengthen the connectivity of transportation between the two countries.
