\"\"ISLAMABAD : Monitoring Desk – The Rossiya Segodnya media group hosted an international roundtable discussion on current issues in international logistics and the role of transport corridors in modern geopolitics. <\/span><\/p>\n

Experts discussed how sanctions, geopolitical tensions, and the restructuring of global supply chains are reshaping key trade routes and redistributing economic and political power across Eurasia.<\/p>\n

The speakers included Natalya Zadonskaya, Deputy Head of International Projects and Digital Integration at the Directorate of International Transport Corridors; Sergei Lukonin, Head of the China Economics and Policy Sector at the Center for Asia-Pacific Studies at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences; Kazbek Maigeldinov, Chairman of the Association of China Researchers public foundation; Wang Yiwei, Director of the Institute of International Affairs and Director of the Center for European Studies at Renmin University of China; and Lakshmi Boojoo, Director of the Economic Policy and Competitiveness Research Center, Mongolia.<\/p>\n

Natalya Zadonskaya<\/strong> from the Directorate of International Transport Corridors opened the discussion by noting that Russia continues to work with eastern and southern logistics routes, helping to diversify cargo flows \u2013 especially in light of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and other restrictions related to the conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The speaker also elaborated on digital solutions being integrated in logistics processes: \u201cWe have, among other things, worked with the Republic of Azerbaijan on mutual recognition of electronic digital signatures.\u00a0 The first document using an electronic signature has already been signed in test mode.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kazbek Maigeldinov<\/strong> (Association of China Researchers) gave an overview of key development trends in Kazakhstan\u2019s transport and logistics system, including the development of the Middle Corridor and routes through China, Central Asia, and the EU.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that in a highly competitive market, it is crucial to work on multiple fronts, as the country\u2019s transit potential is not only a source of income but also an instrument of sovereignty: \u201cToday, the multi-vector nature of Kazakhstan\u2019s logistics policy is not just rhetoric, but an operational necessity dictated by our geography.”<\/p>\n
