ASTANA, Kazakhstan, March 6. The new
Kazakhstan-China terminal in Xi'an has shown significant results
since its launch, Trend reports via Kazakhstan Railways.
To date, the terminal has an annual throughput capacity of 133,000
TEUs. In the last year, the volume of transit traffic through this
center exceeded 276,000 tons. It is expected that in 2025 the
traffic volume will reach 456,000 tons.
More than 5,000 trains were dispatched from Xi'an Dry Port in 2024
on the China-Europe route, setting a historical record. This

node on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), the
volume of transportation increased 33 times last year.
Rail freight transportation between Kazakhstan and China has shown
annual growth, and the joint project - the Kazakhstan-China
terminal at the dry port in Xi'an, which consolidates up to 40
percent of all container trains heading to Kazakhstan - plays a
crucial role in increasing cargo volumes.
Kazakhstan's logistics center in Xi'an, located in Shaanxi Province
in the northwest of China, was opened just over a year ago.
Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev participated in the
opening ceremony via a video conference. He highlighted the
importance of establishing the center for the industry and for
Kazakhstan-China relations as a whole. It was also at this event
that President Tokayev launched the facility’s operations.
