Uzbekistan and Pakistan strengthen trade and transport ties

Uzbekistan and Pakistan are taking a bold step to transform regional trade.

This move aligns with a broader push to strengthen economic ties, streamline trade processes, and advance the Trans-Afghan Railway project.

With bilateral trade surpassing $400 million and ambitions to hit $2 billion, the roadmap prioritises tariff reductions, customs simplifications, and e-commerce integration. Key sectors like pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and electrical engineering are also set for joint investment. Beyond business, cultural and tourism collaborations signal a deepening relationship.
