China Expands Its Influence: Uzbekistan Creates a Register and Rating System for Logistics Centers

23.10.2025

The Government of Uzbekistan has approved a new framework for the development of transport and logistics centers (TLCs) and transit corridors.

By December 1, 2025, a full inventory will be conducted, and all centers that meet the new standards will be included in the national register.

The minimum area for international TLCs is set at 4 hectares, and for regional centers — 3 hectares.

Infrastructure and equipment standards have also been officially established.

The goal is to improve logistics efficiency and integrate Uzbekistan’s hubs into the UN ESCAP list of dry ports, strengthening the country’s role as a key node in Eurasian trade and transport networks.
