    "Convincing key players is paramount": Central Asian countries to enter ocean through Chabahar port

    "Convincing key players is paramount": Central Asian countries to enter ocean through Chabahar port

    Reports from Iranian media indicate that the Chabahar-Sarakhs railway, spanning 1,350 km, is nearing completion, heralding a crucial link between Central Asian countries and the Indian Ocean. Political analyst Farhod Karimov shared insights on this development with Daryo.

    Reviving Crucial Connectivity

    Karimov underscored the historical context, noting that in the early years of independence, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan initiated a railway project toward Iran. However, geopolitical dynamics impeded its progress. He emphasized the importance of reviving this route to access Iranian ports.

    "The technical feasibility exists. Initially, the Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan-Iran railway project was launched but faced opposition from major regional players. Activating this corridor would significantly diminish the relevance of northern routes," remarked Karimov.

    Geopolitical Diplomacy Crucial

    Karimov stressed Uzbekistan's need to engage with key geopolitical stakeholders to advance the project. Despite potential obstacles, he highlighted the changed geopolitical landscape and Uzbekistan's improved relations with Iran and Turkmenistan as favorable factors.

    "While challenges persist, Uzbekistan's diplomatic endeavors hold promise. Convincing key players is paramount. Uzbekistan is also exploring railway collaborations with Afghanistan. This project is vital for Uzbekistan's strategic interests," Karimov stated.

    Strategic Impact and Future Prospects

    The completed railway is projected to handle 8.5mn tons of cargo annually, offering Central Asian nations a vital route via the Chabahar port for global exports. Iran plans to expand Chabahar's cargo capacity to 33mn tons yearly, enhancing regional connectivity and economic prospects.
