Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan Cooperation Seen as Trade Game Changer
Pakistan’s unique strategic geography has opened a new development pathway for Central Asia, positioning the country as a key driver of regional economic growth.
According to Eurasia Review, cooperation among Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan in the context of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor represents a significant milestone in regional economic integration.
The publication noted that the presidents of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, during their visits to Pakistan, initiated a phase of economic transformation through trilateral cooperation linked to CPEC.
It highlighted that the development of Pakistani ports and improved infrastructure has created new trade routes for landlocked Central Asian states. Integration with CPEC provides Uzbekistan with a reliable southern trade corridor through Karachi and Gwadar, while enabling Kazakhstan to access new export markets via Pakistan.
Experts cited by the journal believe that this trilateral cooperation could become a major catalyst not only for the region but also for future global trade.
In this broader context, Pakistan is strengthening its relations with Central Asian countries and enhancing its participation in economic initiatives such as CPEC and the Belt and Road Initiative to maximize regional connectivity and trade potential.
