ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s state-run National Logistics Cell (NLC) and Dubai-based global logistics firm DP World have completed their first commercial cargo delivery from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Tajikistan via Karachi, state media reported on Monday, marking a milestone in Pakistan’s bid to become a regional trade hub.
The cargo, 38 tons of automotive spare parts, was shipped from Jebel Ali port in Dubai to Karachi and then transported overland to the Tajik capital Dushanbe. The journey was completed in just 16 days, which DP World said in a video was the fastest transit time currently available between Dubai and Dushanbe. Competing routes typically take between 20 and 70 days.
“NLC and DP World transported 38 tons of automotive spare parts to Tajik capital Dushanbe,” state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported. “This achievement was made possible through NLC’s professional expertise and modern logistics infrastructure.”
In a video shared by Radio Pakistan, DP World said the rapid delivery underscored Pakistan’s emerging role in regional trade.
