Which Central Asian country is double landlocked, meaning it is surrounded entirely by other landlocked countries?
Hint: This 🇺🇿 is their flag… →
Uzbekistan is one of only two double landlocked countries.
Uzbekistan is one of only two double landlocked countries in the world, meaning it is entirely surrounded by other landlocked countries.
Located in Central Asia, it shares borders with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan—all of which are also landlocked.
This geographical status makes it particularly challenging for Uzbekistan to access seaports, relying on complex trade routes through multiple neighboring countries to reach the nearest coastlines. The only other country in the world with this unique “double landlocked” status is Liechtenstein, located in Europe.
