Seeking to draw China-EU container trains through Ukraine and Slovakia

Seeking to draw China-EU container trains through Ukraine and Slovakia, the transport ministers of Slovakia and Ukraine signed an agreement yesterday to facilitate the creation of train-truck logistics hubs. Both countries envy the surging China-EU rail traffic through Belarus-Poland, a route is carrying double last year’s volumes. “Both Ukraine and Slovakia are extremely interested in developing their transit potential and improving the process of organizing the delivery of goods in containers from EU countries to China and back,” Ukraine’s Infrastructure Miniser Vladyslav Krikliy said at the signing ceremony in Bratislava with Slovakia’s Transport Minister Andriy Dolezhal.
