Discussed practical aspects of the operation of the Uzbek–Turkmen Border Trade Zone

The parties agreed on the legal framework governing the joint trade center, which is viewed as an important platform for expanding bilateral trade, promoting national products, and supporting entrepreneurship on both sides of the border.

The total area of the center is 6 hectares: 3 hectares on the Uzbek side and 3 hectares on the Turkmen side. If required, the territory may be expanded through a separate international agreement.

Citizens of both countries are allowed to enter and exit the border trade zone without obtaining a visa.

The opening of the Uzbek - Turkmen Border Trade Zone will enable entrepreneurs of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to trade their goods freely, benefiting from shared infrastructure and simplified procedures. This initiative creates new opportunities for developing cross-border trade and further strengthening cooperation between our countries.
