Tajikistan and Uzbekistan reportedly plan to launch four bus routes this year, according to Podrobno.uz news website.

Citing deputy head of Uzbekistan’s Motor Transport Agency, Shaalim Shavakhabov, Podrobno.uz says four bus routes connecting Termez and Dushanbe, Tashkent and Khujand, Ferghana and Khujand and Samarqand and Panjakent are expected to be launched this year.

This has reportedly become possible due to a government-to-government agreement between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan on international highway service that was signed in Dushanbe on March 9 during Uzbek president’s state visit to Tajikistan.
