The President noted cooperation in this area as an important factor in the development of the country's transport infrastructure.
At the meeting, both sides expressed interest in developing long-term financial partnership. It was agreed to develop new mechanisms for financing strategically important projects based on a large joint program in the future.
Issues of ensuring the active participation of Eximbank in financing projects in the agricultural and industrial sectors, creating favorable conditions for local producers were also discussed.
Following the meeting, an agreement on financing joint projects was exchanged in the presence of the head of state between the Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade of Uzbekistan and the US Eximbank.
This agreement is expected to open a new page in economic cooperation between the two countries and create broad opportunities for American business to enter the Uzbek market in the future.
