Uzbekistan and Poland expand transport and logistics cooperation

On 9 November in Uzbekistan, a meeting was held between the Chairman of the Board of JSC 'Uzbekistan Railways' Zufar Narzullaev and a delegation from Polish State Railways led by the Chairman of the Board Alan Berud.

The parties discussed the expansion of freight transport between the countries, attracting new cargo flows, and launching regular container trains. Participants identified competitive tariffs as one of the conditions for this.

Special attention was given to transit transport and multimodal logistics chains. The meeting noted that routes from China through Uzbekistan, including the under-construction 'China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan' railway, could in the future reduce delivery times for goods across Eurasia and open new opportunities for transit.

Following the negotiations, 'Uzbekistan Railways' and Polish State Railways signed a memorandum of cooperation. The document provides for the expansion of freight and multimodal transport, as well as the development of transport links between the two countries.
