Uzbekistan is working with the UAE to develop the Trans-Afghan Railway to enhance Eurasian freight connectivity, according to Uzbek Investment Minister Laziz Kudratov. Speaking at Investopia Bridge 2026 in Abu Dhabi, Kudratov noted the project could accelerate cargo shipments between India and Europe by about two weeks. He also highlighted progress on a railway corridor connecting China, Uzbekistan, and GCC nations that cuts transit by at least 10 days.
