Since coming to power，Mirziyayev has regarded the development of the transportation sector as the cornerstone of socio-economic development. Through a series of policy guidance and deepening reforms，the railroad network has been gradually improved and continued to expand，with electrification updates and the planning of a high-speed rail network further contributing to the modernization of rail transport. The highway network，as one of the earliest transportation infrastructures to be improved，has taken shape，but still requires continuous maintenance and improvement，and has yet to form a complete modern highway system. In the aviation sector，the Government’s reform initiatives and the introduction of competition have gradually challenged the long-standing monopoly of a single company，and the establishment of new airlines and the development of new routes have marked the beginning of successful reforms in the aviation sector. In view of Uzbekistan’s unique geographic location，the Government has actively advocated cooperation on connectivity and the strengthening of relations with neighboring countries. The outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine and the disruption of access to the northern transport corridor have created favourable conditions for the development of cross-border transport in Uzbekistan.
