Uzbekistan is planning to establish a logistics hub in Poland as part of its strategy to boost exports to the European Union and strengthen trade links with Europe.

The initiative was discussed during a meeting between Uzbekistan's Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Davron Vakhabov, Uzbekistan's Ambassador to Poland Amirsaid Agzamkhodjayev, and Polish Senate Deputy Speaker Michał Kamiński, The Caspian Post reports via Uzbekistan's Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

According to the Chamber, the planned logistics center will become a key part of Uzbekistan's export infrastructure, assisting accelerate deliveries of Uzbek goods, streamline distribution across European markets, and open new export opportunities.

The parties also discussed expanding bilateral trade and investment, as well as strengthening cooperation between the business communities of Uzbekistan and Poland. At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides expressed their commitment to advancing the project and supporting joint initiatives.

The logistics hub plan follows remarks by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who said in January that freight transport costs to Europe had doubled due to the current geopolitical situation, reducing the competitiveness of Uzbek exports.

The president instructed Uzbekistan's ambassador to Poland to develop proposals for lowering logistics costs. Mirziyoyev described Poland as Uzbekistan's "main gateway to Europe" and called for negotiations on creating a dedicated corridor for Uzbek freight carriers at the Brest border crossing.

Earlier, the Uzbek ambassador highlighted Poland's strategic geographic position as an ideal re-export gateway to Europe. He also noted that, in late 2025, the two countries agreed to establish logistics hubs in Uzbekistan's Tashkent Region and Poland's Masovian Voivodeship, laying the groundwork for deeper trade and transport cooperation.
