Tripartite efforts have reportedly enabled the delivery of goods along this transport corridor through the territories of Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, in the shortest possible time and safely.

The Uzbek Transport Ministry; press center, in particular, says that “thanks to an active foreign policy pursued by our president, Uzbekistan-Pakistan relations have reached a new level of development.”

Landlocked Uzbekistan has been promoting transit transportation projects through Afghanistan since the Taliban came back to power in that country.
