South Korean Finance Minister Yoo Il-ho held a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Rustam Azimov in Seoul within the Fourth South Korea-Uzbekistan finance Ministers’ Meeting.

Yoo Il-ho said that South Korea and Uzbekistan will foster cooperation in energy and resource sectors and strengthen our industrial partnership.

South Korean official said that the two governments will join hands to expand the participation of South Korean companies in government-led projects in Tashkent, including one to build a passenger terminal in Uzbekistan’s main gateway.

South Korea will support the projects through a package of its state-run overseas development funds, including the Korea Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF), in a bid to carry out more effective bilateral projects, he added.
