The Government of Armenia on April 12 approved an agreement with Kazakhstan on exempting cargo transportation from road and environmental fees.
This decision applies not only to bilateral but also to transit cargo transportation between the countries.
As noted in the official justification, the signing of this agreement demonstrates the importance and interest of both parties in deepening cooperation in the field of transportation logistics and maximizing the use of existing transit potential.
The agreement on international automobile communication between Armenia and Kazakhstan was signed back in 2006. However, the issue of exempting cargo from the specified fees remained unresolved until now.
Earlier, Kazakhstan's Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliev stated in an interview with CivilNet that Armenia could benefit from the "Kazakhstan gateway" for trade with China and other Asian countries.
