The provincial Department of Commerce actively promoted the cooperation agreement between JST Logistics Co., Ltd. and Uzbekistan Railway Group Co., Ltd. and signed the strategic cooperation framework agreement on "Building a New Channel between China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan". Since its trial operation in June last year, it has received strong support and active cooperation from Lanzhou Customs, China Railway Lanzhou Bureau Group Co., LTD., China Railway Container Transportation Co., LTD., Xinjiang Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture and Irkshtan Port.

The passage, with a total length of about 4,380 kilometers, goes through The Port of Irkshtan in Xinjiang, through Osh in Kyrgyzstan, and reaches Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. In terms of transportation distance, it is 295 kilometers shorter than the traditional outbound railway transportation mode of Horgos. In terms of efficiency, the whole journey takes about 7-10 days, about 5 days faster than the traditional way of transportation. At the same time, it can not only effectively alleviate the current contradiction between supply and demand caused by the insufficient capacity of China-Europe freight trains, but also effectively reduce the cost of international logistics and build a more perfect international multimodal transport system.
