According to Podrobno.uz, AD Ports Group and HYT Capital have created a joint venture to expand export opportunities for Uzbek enterprises, reduce logistics costs, and develop Uzbekistan as a regional trade and logistics hub. The priorities of the partnership include developing a national digital trade platform, expanding international transport corridors, and building infrastructure to consolidate, store, process, and distribute cargo.

The transport component covers routes connecting Uzbekistan with China, Central Asia, Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East. Priority routes include access to the Middle Corridor toward Europe, southern routes through Afghanistan to ports in Pakistan and the Indian Ocean, as well as connections to Persian Gulf markets via UAE infrastructure. Dry ports, cargo terminals, warehouse complexes, and multimodal centers will serve as the physical foundation of the system.

Dilmurodkhon Bakhtiyorkhonov, chairman of the Supervisory Board of HYT Capital, noted that the objective is to reduce delivery costs for Uzbek goods and establish regular shipments across alternative corridors.
