Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - On 2 August, in the city of Turkmenbashi, during the visit of the government delegation of Uzbekistan to Turkmenistan, Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Investments and Foreign Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sardor Umurzakov held talks with Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdymukhamedov.
During the meeting, the sides discussed the current state and prospects for deepening bilateral cooperation in trade, economic, investment, transport and logistics, cultural and humanitarian spheres.
The parties outlined priority tasks for expanding a multifaceted economic partnership, and also agreed to start joint activities to improve conditions for the development of mutual trade, including through the consistent abolition of existing tariff and non-tariff barriers and simplifying the access of goods of Uzbek and Turkmen origin to the markets of the two countries. It is predicted that, taking into account the existing potential of the economies of the two countries, these measures will bring the volume of the Uzbek-Turkmen trade to the figure of 1 billion dollars in the near future.
The issues of creating border trade zones on the Uzbek-Turkmen border were considered, which will give an additional impetus to the development of bilateral trade, including by increasing mutual supplies of agricultural and household appliances, food products, building materials, as well as petrochemical products.
The issues of preparation for the planned bilateral events were also discussed, in particular, for the holding of the 3rd Consultative Meeting of the Heads of Central Asian States and the Economic Forum of Central Asian Countries, which will be held on August 5-6 in Turkmenistan.
As a result of the meeting, a format for further interaction on the implementation of the agreements reached was determined.
