The parties agreed to cooperate on increasing container transportation volumes along the routes China–Europe, China–Russia, and China–Belarus, as well as on the TITR (Trans-Caspian International Transport Route) and China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan corridors. They plan to establish a working group to attract additional freight flows and improve the efficiency of logistics routes.
