A new international freight route linking China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan was inaugurated on October 15 in Kashgar, located in China's Xinjiang region. Seven trucks departed toward the Kyrgyz border, initiating a multimodal logistics chain.
The cargo will be transported by road to Kyrgyzstan, then transferred to railways bound for Uzbekistan, eventually arriving in Turkmenistan. A portion of the shipment will cross the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan. Deliveries are expected to reach Uzbekistan by October 21 and Turkmenistan by October 24.
This route is part of a trial phase within the southern segment of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor connecting China and Europe via Central Asia. The journey begins in the Chinese cities of Xi’an and Chengdu.
One of the paths will enable direct transportation between Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan using Chinese logistics services, with Ashgabat as the final destination. The initial cargo includes electronics and mechanical equipment.
The initiative aims to diversify regional logistics networks, enhance connectivity between Central Asia and China, and strengthen the Middle Corridor as an alternative trade route to Europe.

A new natural gas well, “Hazarly–2,” has been officially put into operation in the Lebap region of Turkmenistan. The well was drilled by specialists from the “Marynebitgazgözleg” exploration expedition under the state concern “Türkmengeologiýa” and has been handed over for operation to the “Lebapgazçykaryş” production directorate.
The facility is located at the Hazarly site near the Bovrideshik gas field and has become the first well in this area of Turkmenistan to reach industrial-scale production. This development marks an important step in strengthening the country’s gas sector.
The daily output of the new well reaches approximately 120,000 cubic meters of natural gas, contributing to the steady growth of gas production in Turkmenistan.
Over the first eleven months of the year, the workforce of “Lebapgazçykaryş” exceeded its production targets by more than 1%, extracting over 8.516 billion cubic meters of gas. By the end of the year, Turkmenistan plans to increase this figure to 9.3 billion cubic meters.
In addition, 28,039 tons of associated gas condensate were produced, surpassing the planned volume by 2,235 tons. Increased production has also boosted Turkmenistan’s export performance, with gas exports exceeding planned levels by nearly 41%, resulting in an additional 1.38 billion cubic meters supplied to foreign markets.
Since the beginning of the year, a total of 20.908 billion cubic meters of hydrocarbon resources have been extracted from the subsurface of Turkmenistan.
