The Minister of Transport of Tajikistan, Azim Ibrohim, discussed the creation of a logistics center in the Kulob Free Economic Zone (FEZ Kulob) with Ok Dong Yoon, a representative from the South Korean company Samil PwC, the press center of the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan reported.
The report highlights that Mr. Ok Dong Yoon is the project manager for the technical and economic justification (TEO) of the logistics center to be built in FEZ Kulob.
During the meeting, the minister reportedly emphasized the importance of the logistics center, stating that this project, including the introductory project and Basic Design, is of strategic significance for the development of Tajikistan's logistics system and for enhancing the country's logistics potential.
Azim Ibrohim pointed out that the logistics center’s location, adjacent to the international highway connecting Dushanbe, Kulob, Khorog, and Kulma, provides an opportunity for the facility to become a key regional hub. Additionally, it will facilitate the transportation of goods along the multimodal corridor that connects China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, and Europe.
The Ministry of Transport (MoT)’s press center also noted that Tajikistan continues the construction and modernization of its road and rail infrastructure, along with necessary supporting facilities, to position the country as a central transit hub in the region. However, without modern logistics centers and the required logistical infrastructure, the effective development of this direction would become problematic. Therefore, the planning and establishment of logistics centers is seen as an urgent and necessary step.
Ok Dong Yoon informed the minister about the current progress of the project and the upcoming stages of work.
