The EEC Minister proposed to emphasize initiatives on improving supply chain efficiency, border crossing facilitation and prospects for developing transport corridors between the EAEU and PRC. 

Arzybek Kozhoshev stressed that achieving the ambitious goals to establish the Greater Eurasia in terms of transport required creation of relevant infrastructure, as well as increasing the capacity of roads and railways, ports, checkpoints and inland water transport infrastructure. Plus, regular events aimed at synchronizing the activities of logistics services, optimizing transport conditions, facilitation of customs, phytosanitary and veterinary procedures, improving investment attractiveness of joint projects. 

Fruitful interaction between the EAEU and the PRC is promoted in the framework of the Agreement on Trade and Economic Cooperation and the Priority Action Plan for Digitizing Freight Carriage by Rail. Relevant initiatives are implemented in the interests of promoting trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU countries and the PRC.
