Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Transport has announced plans to work with Kazakhstan on expanding the digitalization of the road transport sector.
On September 13, the joint commission of the two countries on international road transport held a meeting in Samarkand. The meeting was chaired by Uzbekistan’s First Deputy Minister of Transport Mamanbiy Omarov and Kazakhstan’s Deputy Minister of Transport Maksat Kaliakparov.
The delegations discussed the further development of international transport links and increasing freight and passenger transportation. They also addressed improvements to the permit system and the development of transport capacity.
The parties agreed to establish a working group to introduce a “seamless transit” mechanism. It will simplify transit procedures, reduce administrative barriers and facilitate the transition to electronic document management.
The transport authorities also reached a preliminary agreement to introduce electronic permit forms for irregular passenger road transport. The system is expected to become operational in 2027.
Particular attention was paid to developing road transport infrastructure and improving the efficiency of transport controls, the Ministry of Transport said. Following the meeting, the parties “agreed to ensure the practical implementation of the agreements reached”.
