Jasurbek Choriyev has officially left his position as Deputy Minister of Transport of Uzbekistan, according to the ministry’s website.
The Transport Ministry’s leadership section now lists only three officials: Minister Ilhom Mahkamov, First Deputy Minister Mamanbiy Omarov and Deputy Minister Ilhomjon Abdugafarov.
The position of second deputy minister, previously held by Jasurbek Choriyev, remains vacant.
In mid-May, at the 18th meeting of the TRACECA Intergovernmental Commission in Astana, Jasurbek Choriyev was elected Secretary General of TRACECA as Uzbekistan’s candidate. His name was no longer mentioned in the Transport Ministry’s official channels after May 21, although he continued to be listed among the ministry’s leadership.
According to Spot, after being elected Secretary General of TRACECA, Jasurbek Choriyev effectively stopped performing his duties as deputy transport minister, as the two positions cannot be held simultaneously. However, no official order on his dismissal had been published until recently, which is why Choriyev continued to appear on the ministry’s leadership page.
TRACECA is an international cooperation program between the European Union and partner countries aimed at developing the Europe-Caucasus-Asia transport corridor. Organizationally, TRACECA is an intergovernmental commission.
The Secretary General of TRACECA serves as the chief executive of its permanent Secretariat. He is elected by the Intergovernmental Commission and is responsible for the overall management of its work.
