Constructive cooperation has been established with the Eurasian Economic Commission. Within the framework of the three-year Joint Work Plan, more than 200 events were held to harmonize legislation with international standards, exchange experience in regulating the economy, and remove barriers in the trade, economic and transport and communication spheres.

Uzbekistan participates in individual programs and sectoral projects in the field of trade facilitation, as well as in the areas of transport, agriculture, ecology and tourism.

The head of our state called for the continuation of joint work to simplify trade procedures and create conditions for a radical increase in trade between the countries. This will be facilitated by the adoption of the Agreement on the Elimination of Technical Barriers and Mutual Recognition of Certificates.

It is proposed to hold substantive consultations at the expert level to develop mechanisms for the implementation of this initiative.

Interest was expressed in participating in multilateral programs of financial support for the implementation of cooperation projects and the activities of the EAEU Business Council.
