On September 17, within the framework of the international forum "From Poverty to Prosperity," held in Namangan, a meeting was held between the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the President of the Islamic Development Bank Muhammad bin Suleiman Al-Jasser.
At the beginning of the meeting, the head of this authoritative international financial organization sincerely congratulated on the successful holding of the forum and noted that the IsDB is ready to fully support the tasks of further poverty reduction in Uzbekistan.
Issues of further expansion of full-scale cooperation with the Bank Group in order to promote the implementation of the irreversible reform strategy in our country were discussed.
The dynamic development of partnership with the IDB in recent years was noted with particular satisfaction.
