Mirziyoyev calls Middle Corridor one of Uzbekistan's key transport projects

The implementation of large-scale infrastructure initiatives will allow Uzbekistan to become part of a major transport system connecting Asia and Europe.

According to a Report correspondent from Tashkent, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev made the statement at the opening ceremony of the Tashkent Investment Forum.

He stated that the country continues to develop its transport and logistics infrastructure and strengthen regional connectivity.

"Key projects include the construction of a strategic railway with the participation of China and Kyrgyzstan, work on the Trans-Afghan Corridor, providing access to southern seaports, and the development of the Middle Corridor route across the Caspian Sea," he said.

He noted that Central Asia is becoming an increasingly interconnected and open economic space.

"Uzbekistan is also working with Saudi partners to build a new international airport in Tashkent, designed to handle up to 20 million passengers per year," he added.

The president invited investors to participate in projects to build expressways, logistics centers, and dry ports.
