    Uzbekistan's global connectivity role takes center stage at forum in Brussels

    Uzbekistan's global connectivity role takes center stage at forum in Brussels

    The recent convening on January 29 of the Global Gateway Investors Forum in Brussels brought together delegations from the European Union and five Central Asian countries to address challenges and opportunities in enhancing connectivity. A significant highlight was the active participation of a U.S. delegation, led by Nicholas Berliner, emphasizing the strategic importance of fostering collaboration in the face of evolving geopolitical challenges, The Diplomat reported on January 30.

    The forum focused on leveraging sustainable transport connections between Europe and Central Asia, building upon the findings of an EU-commissioned study. It aimed to translate political commitments into actionable measures that would strengthen connectivity between the EU and Central Asia.

    The U.S. delegation, led by Nicholas Berliner, special assistant to the president and senior director for Russia and Central Asia on the National Security Council, emphasized the Biden administration's commitment to supporting investments and the development of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, also known as the "Middle Corridor." This commitment aligns with efforts to address disruptions in the Red Sea shipping route, which has been adversely affected by geopolitical tensions and conflicts.

    The Middle Corridor gains prominence as an alternative to traditional maritime routes, especially in light of recent challenges in the Red Sea and the Southern Corridor. Disruptions in the Red Sea shipping route, including Houthi attacks on merchant ships and conflicts in the region, have prompted a reevaluation of global trade routes. The U.S. and Britain's strikes on Yemen have further compounded the situation, leading to ships seeking alternative routes due to the suspension of transit through the Suez Canal.

    In response to these challenges, ships are now diverting their routes around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, adding 30% more distance from Asia to Europe. This shift underscores the vulnerabilities of maritime chokepoints and the need for alternative pathways.

    Uzbekistan emerges as a pivotal player in the expansion of supply chains and the development of alternative transport routes. The initiative to expedite the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan route and the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway within the Middle Corridor positions Uzbekistan as a proactive contributor to global supply chain resilience. Uzbekistan's potential role is further underscored by its initiative to discuss the development of the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan route, linking China to the Gulf countries through Iran.

    The recent state visit of President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Beijing saw China expressing support for launching the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, further solidifying Uzbekistan's role in facilitating alternative transit-trade routes.
