It was attended by A. Abdukadirov, First Deputy Director of the ASR, Beate Shorait, Manager of the GIZ Sustainable Economic Development Program, M. Holboev, F. Seifert, ASR employees and other GIZ representatives.

The main topic of discussion was joint work with state institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the development of industrial policy. The transfer of competence in the development of industrial policy from the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, as well as the creation of a special department in its structure, clearly demonstrate Uzbekistan's interest in developing its own industrial policy.

Nevertheless, the issues of coordinating the activities of international partners, such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), require closer cooperation between various state institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including the Country Platform Institute.

The Country Platform is a tool for systematizing and improving the effectiveness of financial and technical support provided to Uzbekistan by international and country financial institutions for the implementation of the most promising projects and programs. The Agency for Strategic Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan is responsible for organizing the work of the Country Platform.

During the discussions, the next steps necessary to begin the development of industrial policy in Uzbekistan under the leadership of the Ministry of Economy and Finance in close coordination with the ASR were identified.
