(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, January 29. Uzbekistan may become a transport and logistics center for Turkish and Azerbaijani companies to enter new markets, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan Bakhtiyor Saidov said during a briefing following a trilateral meeting with Azerbaijani and Turkish Foreign Ministers Jeyhun Bayramov and Hakan Fidan, Trend reports.

“In the conditions of serious challenges in the field of logistics, the geographical location of our three brotherly countries and their transit potential acquire strategic importance. Close cooperation in this sphere will not only ensure the stability of cargo transportation but will also make it possible to create new transportation corridors that meet the requirements of the modern global economy.

Today, Türkiye and Azerbaijan are the western gates of the Middle Corridor, and Uzbekistan, like the Great Silk Road, is becoming its strategic hub. In this context, we have held comprehensive consultations on the possibility of using Uzbekistan as a transport and logistics center for Turkish and Azerbaijani companies to enter new markets,” the minister stated.

The Foreign Minister added that the sides also discussed the expansion of cargo transportation along the international multimodal transport corridor Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkiye-Europe.

“One of the key strategic issues of our discussions was the construction of the Trans-Afghan railway. All participants unanimously emphasized that the implementation of this large-scale project in the future will not only connect Central and South Asia but also become an important link in global logistics chains. This railway will create new economic opportunities for all participating countries, become the basis for developing trade and economic ties, attract investments, and strengthen the transit potential of the region,” Saidov emphasized.
