On December 27th, the China Gansu Overseas Warehouse in Tashkent, Uzbekistan was inaugurated in Gansu (Lanzhou) International Dry Port. According to industry analysts, the new operation mode of "international trains + overseas warehouses" is conducive to promoting the stable operation of international trains.

Overseas warehouses are warehouses established by export enterprises or cross-border e-commerce companies in overseas buyer countries and regions. After the local customer places an order, the cross-border e-commerce or export enterprise can directly ship to the local area through the overseas warehouse.
Uzbekistan Tashkent China Gansu Overseas Warehouse is located in Lanzhou Dry Port Bonded Logistics Center (Type B), operated by Lanzhou International Port District Investment and Development Co., Ltd., with an effective storage volume of 9,000 cubic meters, mainly responsible for the distribution function of Uzbekistan goods in China.
Sun Wei, chairman of Lanzhou International Port Area Investment and Development Co., Ltd., said that after the establishment of overseas warehouses, the delivery time of goods can be reduced from about 30 days to three or four days in the past. For enterprises, with the warehouse, the goods can be transported in batches, which effectively solves the problem of a large number of product customers and a small single demand.

Gansu's agricultural and sideline products, machinery and equipment and Uzbekistan's cotton yarn and other goods are the main trade varieties between the two sides. In October this year, the Tashkent Overseas Warehouse in Uzbekistan, Gansu Province, China was established in advance. With the inauguration of the Tashkent Overseas Warehouse in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the two sides have now successfully set up overseas warehouses for each other.
Since the launch of the "Belt and Road" initiative, Gansu Province and Uzbekistan have had close economic and trade exchanges. In June last year, Gansu opened the first "China-Jiwu" public railway intermodal international freight train, opening a new trade route for commercial exchanges between China and relevant countries in Central Asia. At the 8th China-Central Asia Cooperation Forum held in October this year, the Lanzhou Dry Port Management Committee signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Trade logistics with Uzbekistan Sushikun Company and JST Logistics Co., Ltd.
