Deputy Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade Akram Aliyev discussed a joint project in the spheres of automobile construction and logistics with Norihiko Nonaka, director of the automobile group of Japanese Sumitomo Corporation.

It envisages construction of a logistics center and creation of a duty-free trade zone in Uzbekistan.

This will allow organizing deliveries of cars and auto parts to both local and foreign markets.

The parties do not announce the estimated terms of the project realization and its cost.

The Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade did not inform about the signing of agreements or any other documents as a result of the meeting.

Prime Minister Akylbek Zhaparov took part in the opening of the “China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway Company” LLC in Bishkek, the government reported.

“We highly appreciate this project and call it the construction of the century. It will bring economic interaction between China and Central Asian countries to a qualitatively new level,” he emphasized.

China will allocate a $2.35 billion loan for the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railroad project.

The countries signed an Agreement on Information Interaction for transfer of data on labeling codes of medicines for medical use.

The agreement will allow to reduce manufacturers' costs in terms of re-labeling of medicines during their mutual export/import from the two countries; to record the moments of export of medicines on the territory of the two countries in the export mode; to trace the movement of medicines on the territory of the two countries.

On September 3-4 of this year, a meeting of the joint Uzbek-Bulgarian commission on international road transport was held at the Ministry of Transport.

At the meeting, the parties discussed issues of further expansion of cooperation in the field of development of international freight transport by road, creation of favorable conditions for national carriers.

In particular, aspects related to the increase in the volume of cargo transportation to EU countries through Bulgaria using the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route were considered.

Following the meeting, additional permit forms for 2024 were exchanged. It was also agreed to exchange permit forms for 2025, which is 15 times more.
