BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 25. Uzbekistan will
host the second National Conference on the Trans-Caspian Transport
Corridor (TITR) on September 30, bringing together government
officials, international financial institutions, development
partners and private-sector representatives to discuss investment
opportunities and reforms aimed at strengthening the country’s role
along the route.
This was stated by the Delegation of the European Union to
Uzbekistan.
The conference will be co-chaired by Uzbekistan’s Ministry of
Transport and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for
International Partnerships. Discussions will focus on turning
shared connectivity priorities into specific investment projects
and policy reforms.
Key topics will include investment in railway and road
infrastructure, development of efficient logistics networks,
digitalization of transport and trade documents, simplified
border-crossing procedures and greater private-sector
participation.
The conference will build on the results of the Investment Forum
on the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor and Connectivity, held in
Tashkent in November 2025, as well as the first national seminar of
the TITR Coordination Platform held in September 2024.
The event will provide a platform to discuss Uzbekistan’s
priorities for strengthening its position on the Trans-Caspian
route and developing more sustainable transport links between
Central Asia and Europe.
The conference is being held as part of the EU-funded TITR
Coordination Platform under the European Union’s Global Gateway
strategy. The platform brings together five Central Asian
countries, the EU, international financial institutions and other
international partners to coordinate investments and reforms aimed
at developing the corridor into a more efficient, secure and
sustainable transport connection between Europe and Asia.
The discussions are expected to help identify priority
investments and reforms to improve the corridor’s efficiency and
competitiveness, while supporting Uzbekistan’s role in regional
transport connectivity.
The outcomes of the conference will feed into further joint work
on priority investments and measures aimed at strengthening the
Trans-Caspian corridor and improving its operational
performance.
