TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, November 26. Uzbekistan
and China have engaged in a dance of dialogue, seeking to hasten
the ink's flow on a trilateral concession agreement, paving the way
for the grand tapestry of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway,
as they prepare to unveil the ceremonial ribbon that heralds the
birth of this monumental project, Trend reports.
This came to light during a meeting between Uzbekistan's
Minister of Transport, Ilkhom Makhkamov, and China's Ambassador to
Uzbekistan, Yu Jun.
The sides also reviewed a range of issues related to enhancing
transport logistics cooperation between the two countries during
the meeting.
Delegates from both countries deliberated on matters like
augmenting the quota for cargo transport permits, expediting the
transit of containers at Chinese ports and borders, and enhancing
the frequency of flights for Uzbek airlines to China.
To note, Uzbekistan's foreign trade turnover with China totaled
$10.2 billion from January through October of this year. This is
3.5 percent less compared to the same period last year ($10.8
billion from January through October 2023).

constellation of Uzbekistan's most significant trading allies
during the specified timeframe.
