Kazakhstan and Russia reached an agreement to jointly assess prospective cargo volumes passing through their shared border checkpoints and to support the further development of the North–South corridor to increase bilateral and transit freight, following the 26th meeting of the Kazakhstan–Russia Intergovernmental Commission in Astana, Trend reports.

The meeting, co-chaired by Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk, focused on expanding railway shipments, including prospects linked to the September launch of double tracks on the Dostyk–Moynty section and growing China–Europe–China transit.

Kazakhstan also raised concerns about the reduced stay period for foreign drivers in Russia, and the Russian side confirmed readiness to facilitate restoring the 180-day allowance for Kazakh international transport operators.
