TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, January 13. Ahead of an official visit by President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the United Arab Emirates, a significant ceremony was held in Abu Dhabi to formalize several agreements for joint projects between the two nations, Trend reports.
The event was led by Uzbek Minister of Investments, Industry, and Trade Laziz Kudratov and UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei.
In his opening remarks, Laziz Kudratov highlighted the steady growth in trade, economic, and investment cooperation between Uzbekistan and the UAE, emphasizing that this progress stems from strong mutual trust at the highest levels.
During the ceremony, a range of investment agreements and contracts were signed, covering key sectors such as energy, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure development, water supply, transportation, and logistics.
