containerKTZ Vice President Kanat Alpysbayev has announced that more than 700,000 containers per year will be transported along the China-Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran transnational railway by 2020.

Great attention and interest were shown to Khorgos – East Gate special economic zone development. All these matters were discussed, plans were outlined and work will continue on their realisation,” Alpysbayev said.
