Under the coordinated guidance and support of organizations including the Gansu Provincial Department of Transport, Provincial Department of Commerce, and Lanzhou Customs, a Gan A-licensed truck fully loaded with cargo, independently operated by Gansu International Logistics Group's Multimodal Transport Company, departed from Lanzhou on July 1. It exited China via the Khorgos Port in Xinjiang, traversed Kazakhstan, and successfully arrived in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, on July 8. Covering approximately 3,600 kilometers over seven days, this mission marked Gansu International Logistics Group's first successful completion of a China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan international road transport operation. This achievement fills a gap in Gansu Province's bilateral road transport services with Uzbekistan and represents a significant milestone in the province's progression toward "self-operated" international logistics development.

This cross-border trucking operation was independently executed by Gansu International Logistics Group Lanzhou International Port Multimodal Transport Co., Ltd., employing exclusively self-owned vehicles and professional driver teams throughout the entire process. The centralized handling of core procedures including export customs clearance, transit customs transfer, and Uzbekistan import clearance demonstrated significant advantages in compliance, timeliness, and service continuity compared to traditional third-party logistics models. The inauguration of this new transnational transportation route not only marks another milestone achievement for Gansu International Logistics Group in deepening its presence in the Central Asian market, but also highlights Lanzhou's role as a national logistics hub node in exerting radiative influence and driving force across Central Asian regions.

Gansu International Logistics Group will take this successful experience as a starting point to deeply integrate into the high-quality co-construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of the Western Land-Sea Corridor. We will continuously enhance cross-border logistics efficiency, expand route coverage, and steadily advance the regular operation of "road-rail-air" multimodal transport. Efforts will be intensified to accelerate the establishment of a land corridor network radiating to the five Central Asian countries, gradually extending self-operated transportation services to major Central Asian cities including Almaty, Samarkand, and Bishkek. This initiative aims to build a more efficient and flexible three-dimensional logistics service system for China-Uzbekistan trade exchanges, ensuring optimized connectivity across transport modes and strengthened regional economic ties.
