TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, July 9. While on a working visit to Beijing, Ilkhom Makhkamov, the Minister of Transport from Uzbekistan, and Liu Wei, the Minister of Transport from the People’s Republic of China, sat down to hash out the details in bilateral negotiations, Trend reports.
Both entities underscored substantial milestones in the
enhancement of trade, economic, and logistical synergies between
the two nations. They deliberated on critical dimensions of
synergistic engagement in the execution of substantial
infrastructure and transport-logistics initiatives.
Among the subjects analyzed were the feasibility of engineering the
China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway, the evolution of the
China–Europe multimodal transport corridor, and the shift towards
digitalization of permit exchanges for road transport among the
nations.
Concurrently, during the 17th ECO Summit held on July 4 in Shusha,
Azerbaijan, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan underscored
the critical significance of launching the
China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway initiative. This initiative
seeks to implement alternative logistics paradigms in reaction to
contemporary geopolitical shifts and disturbances within the global
supply chain infrastructure.
Anticipating future developments, the corridor is expected to
interface with the Trans-Afghan Corridor, driving improved
opportunities for the fluid amalgamation of regional transportation
frameworks.
