00:00Bonjour et bienvenue à Business Line Uzbekistan.
00:19A landlocked country, in the heart of Central Asia, Uzbekistan is investing heavily to transform its transport sector.
00:27Over the past 30 years, productivity in the industry has tripled, yet it still trails the Asia-Pacific average, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity.
00:38As of January 1, 2022, the length of public highways in Uzbekistan was more than 42,000 km, including about 4,000 km of highways of international importance.
00:52The railway network spans over 7,000 km and handled more than 51 million tons of cargo in just the first half of 2025.
01:03The World Bank forecasted that, by 2030, Uzbekistan's transit capacity will grow almost four and half times and investments in the transport sector will reach about 54 billion euros.
01:16The country is working to become a regional transport and logistics hub, improving mobility, efficiency and access for millions of people and businesses across Central Asia and beyond. Here's more.
01:30With the population of nearly 40 million and no direct access to the sea, Uzbekistan has invested in infrastructure and international transport initiatives. One of them is the Qasq Plus corridor.
01:43Air connectivity is also part of the strategy. Tashkent International Airport has become a regional hub, serving more than 50 airlines.
01:58Passenger traffic reached 8.7 million in 2024, up 28% from the previous year.
02:17A new cargo terminal with an annual handling capacity of 120,000 tons was opened in 2025. Plans already underway for a second phase that will add an advanced 8,300 square meters cargo handling facility.
02:36More than 60,000 tons of cargo were handled in just the first eight months of 2025.
02:43Rail transport remains central to Uzbekistan's vision of regional integration. Already 70% of the country's railway network is electrified, with plans to increase set to 85% by 2030.
02:57In 2026, we plan to increase the transport of passengers with high-speed transport in two and a half times.
03:04From 2027 to 2028, we plan to increase the transport of our passengers to 20 million people from 11 of the present today.
03:17Whether these projects will transform the country's geography into an advantage depends on how effectively they can be implemented and how regional cooperation holds up in a complex political landscape.
03:30Joining us now is Jasurbek Choryev, Deputy Minister of Transport. Mr. Choryev, currently several transport corridor projects are being implemented across Uzbekistan. How these projects can help country to become stronger player in international logistics?
03:47My question is, today is, we have to be able to move forward to Uzbekistan's vision of the country.
