Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have signed 76
documents worth over $350 million during the fourth Interregional Forum in
Samarkand. Among them is a practical action plan to accelerate the
implementation of agreements reached at high-level meetings. It envisages the
launch of joint production facilities in energy, mining, and geology. Overall,
within the industrial cooperation, the countries intend to implement 74
projects with an investment volume of $3.4 billion. Special attention was given
to the development of transport and logistics potential. More than half of
Uzbekistan's total trade passes through Kazakhstan in transit. Passenger
transportation is also well-developed, represented by 18 routes across all
types of transport, indicating potential for further deepening of business
ties, which are the foundation for the growth of mutual trade. The countries
have established a positive dynamic in this regard, with trade reaching $2.5
billion in the first eight months of the year. Moreover, Kazakhstan is ready to
increase exports of 40 types of goods by $550 million.
«This is primarily facilitated by the trustful
political dialogue between the heads of state, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and
Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Currently, we face a large-scale task of increasing trade
turnover up to $10 billion, with interregional relations playing a special role
in this,» noted Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
