National Logistics Corporation has crossed an important milestone to promote regional trade.

NLC's first truck carrying six tonnes of cherries has reached China while the second consignment will depart from Gilgit-Baltistan next week.  

Last year, under the TIR system, the first export cargo of two trucks carrying medicines from Pakistan  had reached Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

In April this year, a consignment of potatoes was dispatched through NLC trucks which covered the journey from Okara and Rahim Yar Khan to Dushanbe in just seven days.
