Uzbekistan joined CAREC in 1997 and, since then, has collaborated with other members to promote growth and connectivity and transform the region into a vibrant hub of trade and commerce. As one of only two double-landlocked countries in the world, Uzbekistan faces unique challenges. CAREC has been instrumental in assisting Uzbekistan in overcoming its logistical challenges by developing critical regional transport corridors. CAREC Corridors 2, 3, and 6 run through Uzbekistan, and the country is committed to upgrading its roads along these corridors.<\/p>\n
Uzbekistan envisions a stable regional energy grid, spanning the vastness from the People\u2019s Republic of China in the east to Azerbaijan in the west, and from Kazakhstan in the north to Pakistan\u2019s bustling warm-water ports in the south.<\/p>\n
CAREC plays a vital role in advancing Uzbekistan\u2019s economic development ambitions and expanding trade with its neighbors.<\/p>\n
