The Second Turkmen-Uzbek Interregional Forum was held in the city of Turkmenabat at a high level.

The forum was attended by heads of trade, financial structures, regional administrations and representatives of the private sector of the two countries.
As noted by the speakers from the Turkmen side, the organization of such events, which have already become traditional, testifies to the inviolability of the bonds of friendship between the two countries and peoples.

The first interregional forum was organized in 2022 in Bukhara, and in July of this year, an exhibition of goods from Turkmenistan was held in Tashkent.
In the context of maximizing the potential of interstate partnership, joint Trading Houses were opened in Ashgabat and Tashkent; construction of the Turkmen-Uzbek border Trade Center continues at the Dashoguz-Shavat checkpoint.

The construction of new and modernization of existing highways, railway lines, warehouses and other infrastructure facilities has a positive effect on strengthening the economies of the Lebap and Dashoguz velayats of Turkmenistan, as well as the Bukhara and Horezm regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Participants from the Uzbek side noted the importance of the current forum and national exhibition of goods of the Republic of Uzbekistan in establishing productive ties between the business circles of the two countries and discussing promising areas of partnership. At the same time, attention was focused on the steady growth rate of trade turnover between the Republic of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The quality of interregional partnership is significantly positively affected by the benefits provided to businessmen of both countries. In this regard, the Uzbek side expressed its readiness to increase the volume of trade turnover.

The forum also included meetings between representatives of both countries, during which issues of expanding cross-border trade, economic and trade and investment cooperation, implementing joint projects and intensifying dialogue between the business circles of the two states were discussed.

Let us recall that an exhibition of Uzbek goods Made in Uzbekistan was also held within the framework of the forum in Turkmenabat.
