Kazakhstan ratifies protocol of cooperation with U.S. on cargo transit

President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev has signed a law to ratify the protocol allowing the United States to transport special equipment to Afghanistan using the ports on the Caspian Sea.

The protocol was signed on 21 September 2017 in New York. The document is expected to produce a positive impact on development of transit transportation and to bolster development of the logistical infrastructure of Kazakhstan.

The cargo for U.S. troops in Afghanistan will come from Georgia and Azerbaijan through the Caspian Sea to Kazakhstan. Then they will be transported by railway to Uzbekistan to finally reach Afghanistan.
