AKIPRESS.COM - The trial of an international road transport route connecting China, Mongolia, and Russia on the Asia Highway 4 has ended, Xinhua reports, citing the Ministry of Transport.

A fleet of nine trucks dispatched by China, Mongolia, and Russia departed from Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on September 22, proceeding through Mongolia and Russia, and arrived in Novosibirsk, Russia.

The new route is the second international road transport channel connecting China, Mongolia, and Russia, following the Asia Highway 3.

The three countries should make joint efforts to facilitate customs clearance and transportation and contribute more to promoting the construction of the China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor, representative of the Ministry of Transport Xuan Dengdian said.
