President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has announced Uzbekistan’s intention to join the Eurasian transport corridors. According to media reports, he made the statement during the expanded meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Saint Petersburg.

The President noted that the issue is being addressed within the framework of a joint working group. The fifth meeting of the group is scheduled to take place in Tashkent in 2026.

Mirziyoyev also supported the launch of negotiations on an agreement for the exchange of information on goods and vehicles. It is expected that this will improve the efficiency of customs control and accelerate the integration of transport systems across the region.

Uzbekistan has held observer status in the EAEU since 2020 and actively participates in key cooperation formats. Over this period, the country’s foreign trade turnover with the Union has nearly doubled.
