The first container train has departed from China to Tajikistan

According to state media, on February 18-19, 2026, the first pilot container train was launched along the new multimodal corridor “China – Kyrgyzstan – Uzbekistan – Tajikistan.”

The joint Uzbek-Chinese company UTK International Logistics Co. Ltd, co-founded by “Uztemiryulcontainer” (UTK), sent the first container train from China to Tajikistan.

According to the published information, the train consists of 8 containers, each 40 feet (12 meters) long, filled with consumer goods and construction equipment.

The train departed from the Chinese city of Lanzhou and will travel through the multimodal corridor via Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to the station Dushanbe-2, the report states.

The station “Dushanbe-2” is the final point of this route. The total length of the route exceeds 3,500 kilometers. The train will cover this distance in 18–20 days.

It is worth noting that on March 31, 2025, during a meeting of the leaders of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan in the city of Khujand, agreements were signed to strengthen regional cooperation and develop transport links. The implementation of this project was envisaged within the framework of the agreements reached.
