The minister said the country's road transit sector continues to show steady growth.

"Since 2020, the volume of road transit has increased threefold," he said.

Sauranbayev noted Kazakhstan is pursuing a range of projects to support the further development of international road transport, including the rollout of a nationwide video monitoring system, continued digitalization, and the introduction of autonomous vehicles.
