Uzbekistan considers block train routes to Mersin, Riga and Baghdad

Uzbekistan is considering launching block train services on the Tashkent–Mersin, Tashkent–Riga and Tashkent–Baghdad routes. According to UzDaily, the issue was discussed at a meeting between Davron Vakhabov, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Zufar Narzullayev, chairman of the board of Uzbekistan Temir Yo'llari JSC.

The meeting focused on simplifying export and import operations for entrepreneurs, improving freight logistics and developing international rail routes. Participants also considered combining the new directions within a single logistics mechanism. This is expected to create more stable supply chains for businesses, raise the efficiency of freight transport and expand opportunities for Uzbek companies in international markets.

Following the meeting, the sides agreed to continue joint work on solving entrepreneurs' problems in the transport and logistics sector. Strengthening cooperation between organisations and creating more favourable conditions for doing business are also planned to receive separate attention.
