The Chinese side will be responsible for building a logistics center for cross-border transportation in Central Asia and Eurasia in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, marking the official entry of the project into the substantive construction phase. Previously, the presidents of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan emphasized that the center will play a strategic role in the development of the Trans Caspian International Transport Corridor.

According to the contract, China Railway Construction Engineering Group will undertake the entire construction process of the project, including engineering design, equipment supply, container terminal, railway infrastructure, etc. The owner stated that this modern logistics hub will enhance the transit transportation potential in Central Asia and is a long-term investment in the regional economy and international trade; Chinese enterprises promise to construct according to international standards and advanced technology to ensure timely delivery of the project.

The Silk Road Central Asia Logistics Center project was jointly launched by the presidents of Ukraine and Kazakhstan in November 2025, with an investment of approximately $300 million from Silkway CA LLC, a joint venture between related enterprises of the two countries. The project is located in Yangiyur District, Tashkent, covering an area of approximately 159.4 hectares. It will serve as a logistics hub connecting Kazakhstan, the Fergana Basin, and Samarkand.
