A delegation from the Krasnoyarsk Territory led by the Minister of Industry and Trade Maxim Ermakov paid a working visit to the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The regional Ministry of Industry and Trade said that the business mission included representatives of six industrial enterprises in the region, specializing in mechanical engineering, woodworking, production of industrial equipment, CNC machines, packaging materials and airport activities.
A presentation of the economic and investment potential of the Krasnoyarsk Territory took place in Tashkent. The event participants, including representatives of government agencies, the business community and experts from various industries, were told about key projects in industry and agriculture, export prospects, opportunities in the fields of tourism and education, as well as new tools for expanding bilateral cooperation.
The second secretary of the Russian Embassy in the Republic of Uzbekistan, Maria Krutineva, the Consul General of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Novosibirsk, Aslam Akbarov, and the Deputy Trade Representative of Russia in Uzbekistan, Igor Kamynin, delivered welcoming remarks.
“Uzbekistan is one of Russia’s key trade and economic partners. The republic rose in the ranking of Russia's trading partners from 25th to 10th place in just four years. Russia is the largest buyer of Uzbek fruits, vegetables and textile products, and in return supplies ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy products, including aluminum, to the Uzbek market,” noted Igor Kamynin.
The delegation of the Krasnoyarsk Territory also visited the city of Termez in the Surkhandarya region, where they met with the head of the region, Ulugbek Kosimov.
As a result of the visit, more than 50 negotiations were held between companies of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Uzbekistan. The parties signed three memorandums of intent to develop cooperation in the fields of mechanical engineering, woodworking and the production of industrial equipment.
An agreement in the field of education and science was also concluded between the Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University and Termez State University of Engineering and Agricultural Technologies.
Based on the results of the negotiations, the parties planned a return business mission of representatives of Uzbek enterprises to the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
