TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, January 11. The number of
cargo vehicles operated by Uzbek carriers has increased sevenfold
to exceed 26,000, raising their share in international freight
operations from 35% to 60%, Trend reports.
The statistics were disclosed as President Shavkat Mirziyoyev
reviewed recent developments in the country's transport and
logistics system.
Over the past seven years, Uzbekistan has achieved significant
progress in this sector, driven by robust support for domestic
transport companies.
Despite these achievements, global tensions have disrupted the
sector. Delivery times for westbound shipments have doubled,
transportation costs have surged by 50%, and border closures or
delays in European countries have further hindered operations.
To address these issues, the government is focusing on key
initiatives: expanding alternative trade routes, simplifying
transit procedures, and negotiating bilateral agreements to reduce
or eliminate border fees. These measures aim to streamline cargo
flows, enhance connectivity, and mitigate the risks posed by
geopolitical disruptions.
Uzbekistan's renewed focus on transport and logistics is
expected to reinforce its role as a vital link in regional and
global trade networks while ensuring greater economic stability
amid uncertain times.
