It is possible to reduce the cost of transportation with China and neighboring countries
by making them easier and faster. If we take the example of Uzbekistan, there will be a
positive change in transport costs for all participants due to the improvement of infrastructure
facilities and the construction of new roads based on the project.
In particular, it is possible to reduce transport costs with Kyrgyzstan to 37%, and with
Kazakhstan – to 28%. It is also possible to minimize transport and freight costs with other
participating countries. The Chinese government is taking great initiative in building roads
and new infrastructure, insisting that it will shoulder the financial resources.
Formation of new transport and transit corridors to attract additional cargo flows to
Central Asia, creation of a network of international logistics centers by studying foreign
experience in training personnel in the field of transport and logistics, developing methods
for the effective use of ports of foreign countries. development of transport and logistics
potential of the Central Asian region. In Asia, the issues of creating a single integrated system
that serves as an important transit route connecting South and Southeast Asia, Europe, the
Middle East and other countries are urgent. region.
