On April 21, 2026, Mr. Khalid Taimur Akram, along with a business delegation from Pakistan and South Korea, visited the headquarters of the New Tashkent City project on the outskirts of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The visit highlighted Uzbekistan’s strong commitment to modernization and future-focused urban development, showcasing its ambition to emerge as a regional hub for innovation and investment.

The New Tashkent initiative is designed as a “city within a city,” integrating business districts, hotels, congress and exhibition centers, and modern residential communities within a smart and sustainable framework. Spanning a vast area, the masterplan incorporates green spaces, advanced mobility systems, and environmentally responsible infrastructure aimed at enhancing quality of life while ensuring long-term urban resilience.

During the visit, the delegation gained insights into Uzbekistan’s strategic vision of combining economic growth with sustainable planning. The project reflects a forward-looking approach that prioritizes connectivity, digital infrastructure, and global competitiveness, positioning the country as an attractive destination for international investors and partners.

The visit underscored a key takeaway: Uzbekistan is not only preserving its rich historical legacy but also actively building innovative, globally connected cities—opening new avenues for investment, collaboration, and economic progress while setting a benchmark for future-ready urbanization in the region.
