Pilot digitalisation of rail freight between the EAEU and China was on the agenda of the Joint Commission under the trade and economic cooperation agreement with the PRC; EEC Minister for Trade Andrei Slepnev summarised the outcomes. Source: Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
Slepnev said a document package enabling Kazakhstan to join a data-exchange arrangement similar to the Chinese model could be ready for signature soon.
On the EAEU–China corridor, parties reported progress in trial exchanges of electronic veterinary certificates—an important step given the weight of agricultural goods in bilateral trade.
Commission members also agreed to work together on transit shipments from EAEU states via China to Southeast Asia and to hold consultations on that track.
