This significant development occurred on the tenth anniversary of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project.
The Kashgar Yuanfang International Logistics Port Company hosted a ceremony to mark the formal debut of the TIR service. Representatives from the NLC, Kashgar Customs, Municipal Committee officials, CEVA Logistics, and the Cross-Border E-Commerce Association attended the occasion.
The speakers emphasised the significance of the TIR transport route from Kashgar to Islamabad and offered insight into future plans for TIR goods transit between the two countries.

This will save not only time but also money. The first convoy of cargo trucks left for Pakistan at the conclusion of the event.
