Khorgos Gateway is a new logistics hub in Kazakhstan located on the border with China that aims to transform Kazakhstan from a landlocked country into a linked transit destination. The hub includes a special economic zone, industrial zone, logistics zone, and dry port managed by DP World to high standards. It began operations in July 2015 and facilitates the movement of regular container trains between China, Europe, and Kazakhstan on major trade routes. Khorgos Gateway seeks to take advantage of its central location on the new Silk Road and membership in the Eurasian Economic Union to become a strategic regional hub connecting Europe and Asia.
