A systematic analysis is presented of the geopolitical, geo-economic, and cultural-humanitarian
dimensions of transregional interconnectedness between Central and South Asia. The practical significance of
the strategic initiatives and conceptual ideas advanced by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat
Mirziyoyev, at international conferences is examined. The study scientifically explores the role of Afghanistan
as a “fragile bridge,” trans-Afghan transport and logistics projects, particularly the Mazar-i-Sharif – Kabul
– Peshawar Railway, energy diversification initiatives (CASA-1000 and TAPI), and the systemic barriers
hindering the integration of the two regions. Within the framework of the decisions adopted at the Consultative
Meetings of the Heads of State of Central Asia and national strategic programs, the role of Uzbekistan’s new
foreign policy doctrine and proactive diplomacy in strengthening regional security and promoting sustainable
economic development is substantiated.
