Uzbekistan and China are intensifying discussions to finalize a trilateral concession agreement that will pave the way for the long-anticipated China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project. The negotiations, which took center stage during a meeting between Uzbekistan’s Minister of Transport, Ilkhom Makhkamov, and China’s Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Yu Jun, mark a significant step toward launching this transformative infrastructure initiative.
The talks also addressed expanding cooperation in transport logistics. Key topics included increasing cargo transport permit quotas, accelerating container transit at Chinese ports and borders, and enhancing flight frequency for Uzbek airlines to China. These measures aim to strengthen bilateral trade and streamline the movement of goods and people between the two nations.
Despite a slight dip in trade turnover, with figures dropping to $10.2 billion from January through October 2023—a 3.5% decline from the previous year—China remains Uzbekistan’s largest trading partner, highlighting the enduring importance of their economic ties.
The railway project, seen as a cornerstone of regional connectivity, is expected to significantly enhance trade routes across Central Asia. As Uzbekistan and China work to finalize the agreement, the initiative represents a pivotal moment in their shared commitment to infrastructure development and economic integration.
