Why Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan - a logistics hub in the heart of Eurasia

Uzbekistan is one of only 2 countries in the world separated from the sea by 2 other states. The country is turning this into an advantage: sitting at the crossroads of trade routes between China, Europe, Russia, the Middle East and South Asia, it is steadily building a network of international transport corridors. Rail, road and air routes give business access to ports on the Caspian and Black Seas and the Indian Ocean.
