Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A delegation from Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan is in Kazan on a working visit. Its participants will visit the Unified Presentation Center, where the presentation of the economic and investment potential of Tatarstan will take place.
Meetings will be held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Tatarstan with the participation of business circles and negotiations at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic. It is also expected that the guests will visit the IT park and Kazan Federal University.
On 28 November, President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov held a meeting with members of the delegation of Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan, headed by the khokim of the region, Tura Bobolov. This was reported by the press service of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan.
During the conversation, which took place in the Kazan Kremlin, the President of the Republic of Tatarstan noted that Tatarstan highly appreciates the opportunity to develop cooperation with Uzbekistan within the framework of friendly Russian-Uzbek relations.
“A special merit in this is the presidents of our states - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan. The established good traditions of many years of productive cooperation have become a solid basis for interaction between our countries. In these difficult times, our states have maintained an effective trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian partnership,” R. Minnikhanov noted.
According to the President of Tatarstan, cooperation with Uzbek partners has been actively developing recently.
“Commodity turnover last year amounted to about US$200 million. In the first half of this year, the trade turnover showed good growth, by another 34%,” he said.
Rustam Minnikhanov is convinced that it is important to continue working on increasing the volume and range of mutual deliveries of goods and services, and there is everything necessary for this. Back in 1993, an agreement on cooperation was signed between Tatarstan and Uzbekistan, and work is underway to prepare a new document. Since 1992, a representative office of Tatarstan has been operating in Uzbekistan. There is also the Consulate General of Uzbekistan in Tatarstan.
A number of agreements, memorandums of cooperation between ministries, chambers of commerce and industry, enterprises, organizations and universities have been signed and are being implemented. Work is underway on the line of leading Tatarstan companies: KAMAZ, Tatneft, Himgrad, and so on.
Rustam Minnikhanov also recalled that multi-fuel filling stations of the Tatneft company are opening in Uzbekistan, and KAMAZ vehicles are being delivered. In addition, a KAMAZ auto center (in Tashkent) and a KAMAZ assembly line (in Samarkand) have been opened in the Central Asian country.
The President of the Republic of Tatarstan also recalled that this year the opening of the chemical-industrial technopark "Chirchik" - a joint project of the Tatarstan JSC "Khimgrad" and Uzbek partners, as well as a branch of the Kazan Federal University in the city of Jizzakh (October 2022) took place. In addition, 3,335 students from Uzbekistan study at Tatarstan universities.
Speaking about the expansion of interregional cooperation, Rustam Minnikhanov assured: "Tatarstan is interested in further development of cooperation with the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Surkhandarya region."
The delegation of the Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan is in Kazan on a working visit. Its participants must visit the Unified Presentation Center, where the presentation of the economic and investment potential of Tatarstan will take place. Meetings will be held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Tatarstan with the participation of business circles and negotiations at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic.
