Spanning from China through Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan along the Caspian Sea to Europe, the Trans-Caspian Corridor is an increasingly important channel for transportation and cross-border trade. As the shortest route between Western China and Europe, it is a great alternative to the Northern Corridor through Russia and the Ocean route to the south. What’s more, Central Asia is becoming increasingly important as a connectivity hub.
What is the current state of the economic, political and infrastructural Trans-Caspian transport route? What are the opportunities for European, Kazakh and Chinese companies?
Discover EU-Central Asia-China relations and the potential impact of diversified economic relations for your business in the BCECC’s and the Benelux Chamber of Commerce in Kazakhstan’s webinar “The Trans-Caspian Corridor: Opportunities for your business” on May 13, 2024 at 11:00 CET (17:00 CST) with the Belgian Ambassador in Kazakhstan, Ahlers and the ENC.
