Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Within the framework of the summit of the Organization of Turkic-Speaking States starting today, very important documents in the field of transport cooperation will be signed - the Agreement on International Multimodal Transportation of Goods and the Program for Cooperation in the Field of Transport, said head of the Foreign Ministry Vladimir Norov at a meeting of foreign ministers of the countries OTS members on 10 November.

“The new geo-economic situation emerging in Eurasia opens up very favorable prospects for us to turn our region, which connects the strategic corridors of Eurasia, into a powerful transport and logistics link in the global value chain,” the minister said. “This requires strengthening joint efforts to eliminate the isolation of movement in the space of the Turkic states.”

According to Vladimir Norov, the main goal is to create a single transport space that will firmly connect through land and sea ports with world markets.

Together we will be able to turn the Trans-Caspian "Middle Corridor" into a platform for the future integration of the organization’s countries into a single transport system, the minister stressed. The implementation of a set of joint measures aimed at increasing the possibility of cargo transportation, reducing time and cost, digitalizing the transport and logistics system of this route, as well as harmonizing and synchronizing customs and transport legislation will bring our countries closer to the strategic goal.

The construction of railways along the routes China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan, Termez-Mazar-i-Sharif-Kabul-Peshovar and the implementation of other projects will undoubtedly increase the attractiveness of the pan-Turkic transport space, the Uzbek Foreign Minister said.
