BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 6. Uzbekistan and
Georgia are strengthening cooperation in the transport and
logistics sector following high-level talks and a joint inspection
of key infrastructure projects in Georgia, including the
development of the Anaklia Deep Sea Port.


This was reflected in a statement from the Uzbek side following
a visit by a delegation led by Uzbekistan’s Minister of Transport
Ilkhom Makhkamov, Minister of Investments, Industry and Trade Laziz
Kudratov, and Georgia’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable
Development Mariam Kvrivishvili.


During the visit, the delegation inspected construction progress
at the Anaklia Deep Sea Port, a strategic maritime infrastructure
project aimed at expanding Georgia’s role as a regional transit hub
linking the Black Sea with Central Asia and broader international
trade routes. Officials were briefed on ongoing construction works
and long-term development plans for the port.


The delegation also visited the Poti Free Industrial Zone, where
they reviewed the activities of resident companies, production
capacities, and the overall investment environment. Special
attention was given to the logistics and transit potential of the
Poti port, which remains one of the key gateways for regional cargo
flows.


In discussions held during the visit, both sides emphasized the
importance of expanding transport connectivity, increasing cargo
transportation volumes, and implementing joint projects aimed at
improving regional supply chains.







“The development of modern transport corridors and logistics
infrastructure is a key priority for strengthening economic ties
between our countries and enhancing regional connectivity,” members
of the delegation said in a joint remark.


“We see significant potential for expanding cooperation in
transit, port management, and multimodal logistics solutions that
can benefit both Uzbekistan and Georgia,” another statement
noted.


The sides also highlighted that closer cooperation in transport
and logistics would contribute to diversifying trade routes,
improving access to international markets, and strengthening the
role of both countries as key transit nodes in Eurasian
connectivity.


The visit underscores growing strategic engagement between
Tashkent and Tbilisi in infrastructure development, with both sides
signaling readiness to deepen practical cooperation in logistics,
investment, and trade facilitation.
