Nargiza Umarova took part in a special episode of the “Rennesans yo‘lnomasi” program on Mahalla TV, dedicated to the transformation of Uzbekistan’s relations with neighboring countries in the region. During the discussion, particular attention was paid to how Tashkent’s updated foreign policy, based on trust, pragmatic dialogue, and the expansion of regional cooperation, has contributed to strengthening good-neighborly relations in Central Asia.

In her remarks, Nargiza Umarova noted that the improvement in the political climate in the region has been a key factor in developing Uzbekistan’s transport connectivity with the outside world. Expanded cooperation with neighboring countries has made it possible to intensify efforts to modernize transport corridors, develop rail and road routes, and increase the country’s transit capacity.

It was particularly emphasized that Uzbekistan’s regional openness creates new opportunities for accessing international markets, strengthening ties between Central and South Asia, and diversifying foreign trade routes. The expert’s participation in the program helped convey to a wider audience the importance of transport diplomacy and good-neighborly policies for Uzbekistan’s long-term development.
