Partnership address - Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is Belarus's key partner in Central Asia. The two former Soviet republics celebrated the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2023. And today based on numerous facts one can assert that the interaction between Minsk and Tashkent is experiencing a period of a peculiar flourishing which is reaching a qualitatively new level and seeking to find and expand new joint forms of cooperation to realize the objectives of strategic cooperation. In December 2023 Samarkand hosted the 10th meeting of the joint Belarusian-Uzbek intergovernmental commission on bilateral cooperation during which the parties discussed the state and prospects of trade and economic interaction paying special attention to the spheres of industry agriculture and healthcare in order to fill the economic component of the partnership between Belarus and Uzbekistan with new practical content to ensure timely implementation of investment projects and trade contracts. After all the parties still have a significant potential to multiply trade volumes by expanding supplies of products in demand in the markets of the two countries. This is the subject of this study.
