Uzbekistan has made the first safe cargo transit from Pakistani port via Afghanistan in a week-long route, Uzbekistan's Transport Ministry says.
“Uzbek drivers, who traveled 2,760 kilometers on the route Tashkent – Termez – Mazar-e-Sharif – Kabul – Peshawar – Karachi, delivered cargo (frozen meat) from the port of Karachi to Tashkent," the press center of Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Transport said on June 16.
Tripartite efforts have reportedly enabled the delivery of goods along this transport corridor through the territories of Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, in the shortest possible time and safely.
The Uzbek Transport Ministry; press center, in particular, says that “thanks to an active foreign policy pursued by our president, Uzbekistan-Pakistan relations have reached a new level of development.”

Landlocked Uzbekistan has been promoting transit transportation projects through Afghanistan since the Taliban came back to power in that country.
