Executive summary
Uzbekistan is strengthening ties with Afghanistan through trade talks and joint infrastructure projects that aim to reduce shared security risks and integrate the traditionally isolated Central Asia region.
Tourism has emerged as a critical sector for economic growth, with Tashkent shifting from traditional sectors towards liberalising the economy and travel restrictions, further encouraged by projects to integrate Uzbekistan with its neighbours, improving the movement of people.
Both examples show a dual approach of regional cooperation and economic modernisation; Uzbekistan aims to stabilise regional tensions through dialogue with the Taliban, solidifying its place as a rising power in Central Asia able to manage risk whilst also integrating infrastructure investments into these security strategies, opening up the region to new economic possibilities.
