Addressing the forum participants with a welcoming speech, the Minister of Investments, Industry and Trade of Uzbekistan Laziz Kudratov highly appreciated the resolute attitude of business circles to establish a mutually beneficial partnership, the MIIT press service reported.
The consistent dynamics of the growth of trade, economic and investment relations between the two countries was emphasized. At the end of 2022, trade increased by 20% and reached a record $9 billion. At the same time, the heads of the two countries set a specific goal - to bring the figure to $10 billion this year, which can be achieved through joint efforts and coordinated actions.
Stable growth is also noted in the investment sphere. The total volume of disbursed Chinese investments has increased 5 times since 2017 and amounted to $11 billion. In 2022 alone, $2.2 billion of Chinese investment was disbursed. The number of joint ventures in Uzbekistan has tripled over the past 5 years.
Representatives of the Chinese business community were familiarized in detail with the positive structural changes and comfortable conditions created in Uzbekistan for doing business.
