Uzbekistan is studying the possibility of participating in the construction of the Nakhchivan railway

Uzbekistan is considering participating in the construction of the Nakhchivan railway, which is expected to provide access to the ports of Samsun and Istanbul in Turkey. This was reported by the president's press service following the presentation of major transport and logistics projects.

To recall, in August, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that an international consortium could be established for the reconstruction of the Nakhchivan railway. It was proposed to include companies and countries interested in investments, profits, and guaranteed cargo volumes along this route.

As part of expanding access to seaports, Uzbekistan also intends to participate in the creation of logistics infrastructure in Aktau, Turkmenbashi, and Baku on the Caspian Sea, as well as in Poti and Anaklia on the Black Sea.

According to the president's press service, an agreement on the creation of a logistics center in the port of Poti has already been signed, and a feasibility study for the project is currently being developed. In parallel, the possibilities of Uzbekistan's participation in the development of the deep-water port of Anaklia are being studied.

The new routes are expected to expand Uzbekistan's export opportunities for textile, chemical, agricultural, and mining and metallurgical products.
