TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, June 14. Uzbekistan and
the European Commission discussed cooperation within the framework
of the Trans-Caspian International transport Corridor (Middle
Corridor) coordination platform, Trend reports.
The First Deputy Minister of Transport of Uzbekistan Mamanbiy
Omarov met with a delegation from the European Commission for
International Cooperation.
During the meeting, the commission representatives were given a
comprehensive overview of the swift reforms taking place in the
realm of transport and logistics development in Uzbekistan.
The deputy minister of transport noted that the country is ready
to actively participate in the European Union's initiatives to
attract investments for the creation of a stable, reliable, and
safe transport network infrastructure.
He also emphasized the importance of projects related to the
development of regional transport corridors.
Representatives of the European Commission highlighted that the
established coordination platform for the Trans-Caspian
International Transport Corridor is an important step in
cooperation aimed at bringing Central Asia and Europe closer
together.
Meanwhile, the Middle Corridor links the container rail freight
transportation networks of China and the European Union countries
through Central Asia, the Caucasus, Türkiye, and Eastern
Europe.
A multilateral multimodal transportation infrastructure links
the ferry terminals of the Caspian and Black Seas with the railway
systems of China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye,
Ukraine, and Poland.
The Middle Corridor facilitates the flow of cargo from China to
Türkiye, as well as to Europe and vice versa.
Transporting cargo from China to Europe along this corridor is
incredibly efficient, with an average delivery time of 20–25 days.
This makes it a highly advantageous transport route.
