The Chapter “Sustainable Trade Bridges: Pakistan-Uzbekistan Prosperity in CAREC” by Adeel Kadri and Muhammad Musa explores how Uzbekistan, a double-landlocked country, aims to boost regional trade using existing routes and infrastructure owned by other nations, while Pakistan boasts three major ports along the Arabian Sea. Both countries stand to benefit from improved bilateral trade; Pakistan’s ports are underutilized, and Uzbekistan seeks access to international waters. By granting Uzbekistan access to its ports, roads, and railways, Pakistan could see increased cargo traffic and financial gains, while Uzbekistan gains a sustainable trade route to the sea. This study examines the untapped trade potential between the two nations and advocates for a sustainable partnership to realize it.
