Promoting trade in Uzbekistan

Central Asia Newswire

The Uzbek government will invest $10.4 million in a new transport logistics center in the Surkhandarya region, a key component of the country’s plan to become a regional crossroads for trade and transportation. Located at the nexus of several trading routes, Uzbekistan provides a strategic locale for firms eager to export goods to Russia, China, India and other states.

As the country invests millions to improve road and rail networks, the European Union is contributing $2.6 million to upgrade Uzbekistan’s transportation infrastructure.

Uzbekistan is not the only Central Asian state developing top-of-the-line transport logistics centers.

Kazakhstan is also working furiously to construct roads and railways throughout its vast territory, paying special attention to its Western Europe–Western China highway.
