Tajikistan is interested in developing the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway

Tajikistan is interested in developing transport links through the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway project and establishing new multimodal routes connecting Central Asia with China, South Asia, and European markets. This was stated in a speech by a representative of Tajikistan at the SPECA forum in Bishkek.

For a landlocked country, the development of regional transport routes and the expansion of trade remain strategic priorities.

In the first nine months of 2026, Tajikistan’s trade turnover with SPECA member countries exceeded $2 billion, an increase of 29% compared to the same period last year.

To further expand trade, Tajikistan intends to continue working to remove trade barriers, streamline customs procedures, and digitize trade. The country is developing a “single window” system and the ASYCUDA automated customs system.

The need to coordinate the development of transport corridors, improve border procedures, and implement digital technologies was also noted.
