At the September 30 meeting of the Intergovernmental Council in Minsk, the EAEU countries' Heads of Government endorsed the 2024 report on creating and developing transport infrastructure in the Eurasian Economic Union countries in the East–West and North–South directions, including as part of coupling with the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.

It is an annual report that allows assessing the work done and outline further steps to enhance cooperation.

According to the report, the Five countries ensure the development of national transport infrastructure and key Eurasian routes. This is totally in line with the strategic goal to shape a common transport space and facilitates establishing a sustainable logistics system, as is consistent with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The basis of the EAEU transport infrastructure are the Eurasian transport corridors, the creation and development of which is provided for in the Treaty on the EAEU. According to expert estimates, the Eurasian transport corridors account for about 70% of transit traffic in the EAEU; this indicates the importance of coordinating the transport infrastructure development in the EAEU countries.

"In the current context, it is especially important to have international cooperation and pool the resources to unleash the transit potential, diversify export routes and ensure uninterrupted and cost-effective transportation along the conventional and new corridors," noted Arzybek Kozhoshev, Minister in charge of Energy and Infrastructure of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

Special attention was paid to developing the North–South international transport corridor along which 11.9 million tons of cargo were transported by rail in 2024. According to expert estimates, infrastructure modernization and development of railway and combined transportation will allow increasing the capacity of the East route of the corridor alone to 15 million tons by 2027 and to 20 million tons by 2030. Given the status of the Observer State at the EAEU granted to Iran and the signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the EAEU and Iran, cooperation to develop the North–South ITC also appears promising for consideration in the EAEU–Iran format. Its territory and Gulf ports are a critical link for expanding the North–South to India. It is planned to intensify the work of the EAEU countries to develop the corridor.

The Commission works to organize the activities of the subcommittee on cooperation in the field of transport and transit under the Free Trade Agreement between the EAEU and Iran.

There is the ongoing work to develop sectoral cooperation on transport with the United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, People's Republic of China; continuing implementation of the Cooperation Plan between the Commission and the Executive Committee of the CIS CTM in the field of transport, infrastructure, logistics and developing international transport corridors until 2030; the fulfilment of the Comprehensive plan for developing the Eurasian transport corridors is being ensured.

In the end, all activities of the Commission and the Union countries are aimed at increasing the EAEU transit potential efficiency.
