The program of the visit began with a visit to the Yangi Uzbekistan Park, where Garibashvili laid flowers at the Independence Monument as a tribute to the depth of history and bright modernity of Uzbekistan.
The next on the delegation's route was the Technopark, where the guests got acquainted with the production process, the nomenclature of localized high-tech products.
In terms of economic relations, it is worth noting that there is a free trade regime between the countries. Uzbekistan supplies mainly industrial goods, chemical products, beverages, cars and transport equipment to Georgia. Georgia, in turn, imports pharmaceutical products, transport equipment, food products and other items. 69 enterprises with the participation of Georgian capital operate on the territory of Uzbekistan. In Georgia, there are 23 enterprises with the participation of Uzbek investments. The trade turnover between the two countries has grown by 34.3% since 2017, reaching $ 127.4 million. But this, as noted, is far from the limit, the countries have a mutual desire, and therefore a real opportunity to achieve much greater results.
When visiting the Technopark, which unites 17 modern, export-oriented and import-substituting industries, the Prime Minister of Georgia drew attention to the huge investment and industrial potential of Uzbekistan, in light of which the priority of bilateral partnership today remains to increase direct contacts between the business circles of the two countries in order to develop and implement new joint projects, the press service of MIFT reports.
