The discussions took place at a meeting between Uzbekistan’s Transport Minister Ilhom Mahkamov and Andreas Stöckli, a member of the Rhenus Group Board of Management.
The two sides also reviewed the operations of UzContargo, a joint venture established by Uztemiryolkonteyner and the Rhenus group of companies.
One of the main topics was speeding up the reconstruction of the Andijan freight terminal. The participants also discussed establishing “green corridors” to reduce cargo delivery times to Uzbekistan.
Mahkamov outlined progress on the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway project, saying that modern logistics infrastructure in Andijan would strengthen the new international transport corridor’s appeal and transit potential.
Stöckli expressed Rhenus’s interest in further participating in projects to develop freight terminals in Tashkent region, Samarkand and Termez. He also pointed to Uzbekistan’s potential to become a regional transport and logistics hub.
The two sides agreed to continue practical cooperation and work jointly on prospective transport and logistics projects.
