During the visit, dignitaries were briefed that in just three years, NLC has successfully expanded operations to more than ten countries, offering end-to-end logistics services that are reliable, cost-effective, and time-efficient for the business community.
NLC’s senior management also participated in high-level panel discussions addressing the challenges and opportunities in cross-border transportation. The organization shared its valuable experience in operationalizing regional trade corridors, linking Central Asian States to global markets through Karachi Port via the most efficient and shortest routes. It was noted that these linkages have the potential to generate significant economic benefits for Central Asian economies through enhanced access to international trade.
Emphasizing regional cooperation, NLC strongly advocated for greater collaboration among transport and logistics sectors to unlock the full potential of transit trade and economic integration. The organization underscored that transport, mobility, and connectivity are the essential pillars of regional development, shared prosperity, and sustainable economic growth.
It was further emphasized that to meet the growing demands of freight transport while ensuring cost efficiency and reliability, countries must adopt harmonized policy frameworks and focus on enhancing the sustainability, resilience, and technological adaptability of logistics systems.
