Abstract

At the present stage a special place in bilateral relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the People’s Republic of China is occupied by the direction of improving the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor, which revived the Great Silk Road - one of the oldest trade routes connecting the West and East. It is known that this issue is one of the relevant for Kazakhstan today. Therefore, the main objectives of the scientific research in the framework of the article are to study the implementation of agreements in this area between Kazakhstan and China, their results and what can be expected from further development. The essence of the article is a comprehensive scientific analysis of ways to implement initiatives outlined on the basis of agreements. The research, based on statistical data, in process of sorting reports and statements of responsible government agencies, examines what results have been achieved in real practice and the possibility of implementing planned activities. At the same time, the interests and positions of the goverments of the countries interested in the Trans-Caspian International Freight Corridor in order to improve the logistics infrastructure on this route are not ignored. It is emphasized that the main goal of each interested state is to create a network of integrated multimodal transport and logistics centers on this corridor, ensuring clode integration with international transport systems as an equal partner.

The relevance of the research on the agreements between Kazakhstan and China on the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TMTM) is due to its strategic importance for global trade and economic growth. TM connects China with Europe, which helps strengthen economic ties and integration into international trade networks. The implementation of infrastructure projects, such as new railway and port terminals, requires an analysis of their impact on the economy and the environment. In addition, the development of the route can promote cultural exchange and strengthen social ties between peoples. Political aspects, including security and regional stability issues, also require attention. Research in this area will help identify both current achievements and prospects for further cooperation, which makes the topic particularly relevant for analysis in the context of global change.
