This article is aimed at analyzing the logistics and transport potential of Central Asian countries, with special attention to Uzbekistan's trade relations in the region. To assess the impact of logistics efficiency on bilateral trade flows, an extended gravity model including LPI indicators is estimated using panel data for 2010-2023. The empirical results show that improving Uzbekistan's logistics performance has a statistically significant and positive impact on regional trade flows, partially offsetting distance-related trade costs
