In particular, more than 650 joint projects worth $67 billion are being implemented in Uzbekistan, which contributes to the country's sustainable economic growth. In 2024, Uzbekistan's GDP will increase by 6.5%, and the forecast for the coming years suggests a further increase in indicators - by 6% in 2025, by 6.1% in 2026, and by 6.3% in 2027. The growth was driven by an increase in industrial production, which amounted to 6.5% in the first quarter of 2025.

At a session on infrastructure projects, Irina Kazovskaya, Chairman of the Aluminum Association, emphasized the importance of Russian standards for bilateral industrial cooperation and the transition to environmentally friendly materials.

She noted that cooperation with Uzbek enterprises in the energy, transport and construction sectors can significantly strengthen the economies of both countries.

Aluminum, which accounts for more than 25% of construction consumption, remains a key material. Russian companies have introduced new alloys that are used in various industries.

"In recent years, domestic enterprises and scientific institutes have developed a number of innovative aluminum alloys, which has served as an impetus for a significant expansion of aluminum applications in various industries. We are ready to share successful practices and develop cooperation in all directions," Irina Kazovskaya emphasized.

In her opinion, this will create additional opportunities to strengthen the economies of both countries through the development of the aluminum industry.
