President Mirziyoyev directs Ministry of Transport to develop trade routes bypassing problematic countries 

According to the Minister of Transport, Ilkhom Makhkamov, a presidential decree presented to Shavkat Mirziyoyev outlines five key priorities: reducing freight transportation costs, diversifying international routes, facilitating transportation along new directions, and lowering overall transport expenses. A comprehensive program has also been developed to define the country's transport, logistics, and freight transit strategy through 2030.

The Ministry of Transport has been tasked with creating alternative routes for trade with countries where transportation currently faces obstacles. Additionally, Uzbekistan aims to improve its ranking in the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) from 88th to at least 55th place by 2030. To support this, a targeted plan is being developed to establish logistics centers, camps, TIR parks, and other facilities along international roadways.

The President has also emphasized identifying alternative routes for foreign trade operations and creating favorable conditions for domestic freight carriers.

The Minister of Transport outlined proposed alternative transport corridors, including:

- Turkmenistan — Iran — Turkey — EU,
- Turkmenistan — Azerbaijan — Georgia — Europe,
- Andijan — Osh — Irkeshtam — Kashgar,
- Uzbekistan — Afghanistan — Pakistan.

The Ministry plans to conclude new international road transport agreements with Belgium, Armenia, Serbia, Norway, Croatia, and Albania, while revising agreements with China, Iran, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania.

By 2025, the volume of transit transportation is projected to increase by 13.7%, reaching 14.6 million tons. This growth is expected to come from key routes such as Belarus — Pakistan (+200,000 tons), China — Europe (+50,000 tons), and China — Afghanistan (+80,000 tons).

Uzbekistan is also planning to implement a “green corridor” system and establish mutual recognition of transport documentation. Border checkpoints, including "Davut-ota," "Gisht-kuprik," and "Navoi," will be expanded, and electronic queue systems and online monitoring will be introduced.
