    A working meeting between the Head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, and the Prime Minister of Uzbekistan, Abdulla Aripov, took place in Tashkent. The parties discussed the directions of further joint work.

    Radiy Khabirov noted that the bilateral trade turnover is one of the best in history. Uzbekistan ranks fifth in Bashkortostan's foreign trade turnover, according to the Bashinform website.

    "At the same time, we see a huge potential for growth," the Head of the Republic of Belarus added. - It is important that along with the development of trade relations, we strive to form industrial cooperation. We plan to open a joint technopark in the Tashkent region. One of the formats of its organization is the creation of a branch of our special economic zone "Alga" on the territory of Uzbekistan. We will also facilitate the work of the business. In particular, Uzbek entrepreneurs already intend to launch the production of gas cylinders for motor transport in Blagoveshchensk. These products are in great demand due to the development of the gas engine fuel market. In turn, we have included in the delegation of the republic the heads of a number of companies ready to enter the Uzbek market."

    According to Radiy Khabirov, the previous two years of active work have prepared a good basis for the development of a qualitatively new stage of relations with friendly Uzbekistan.

    The head of Bashkiria is confident that following the results of the visit to Tashkent, the region will be able to reach new agreements on strengthening relations.
