The center of gravity of the global economy is progressively moving east and south as indicators of GDP are growing in Asia. This will cause an increase in production and consumption patterns as well as in international trade and supply chains. The current transport and logistics infrastructure and related policies need to be changed whether the Central Asian countries want to upgrade their economic structures and become an integral part of increasing trade between Asia and Europe. In this context, the process of integration of the regional economy into the world economic system leads to greater involvement of the Central Asian countries in the international distribution of labor and, accordingly, to the growth of their mutual trade with the main trading partners. Historically, the Eurasian international transport corridors included: the Northern Corridor (Alashankou (China) - Druzhba - Aktogay - Astana - Kokchetav - Presnogorkovskaya (Kazakhstan) and further along with the territory of Russia and other post-Soviet countries to European countries); the Central Corridor (Druzhba - Aktogay - Alma-Ata - Chengeldy (Kazakhstan) - Tejen-Serakhs (Turkmenistan) - Mashhad (Iran) and further to Iranian ports and Turkey). The North-South corridor connecting European countries and the northwest of Russia through the ports of Astrakhan and Olya with the ports of Iran, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan allows cargo transportation in the direction of the Persian Gulf, Pakistan, and India. This paper aims to analyze the process of integration of the Central Asian region transport system into the international transportation network by examining several project initiatives. Further, the research focuses on Chinese, Russian and Afghan factors playing a vital role in achieving the transportation potential of the Central Asian region which has yet to be fully realized.
