The Ministry of Investment, Industry, and Trade of Uzbekistan hosted a high-level meeting with a European Commission delegation led by Pēteris Ustubs, Director for International Partnerships for the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific. The talks focused on advancing joint initiatives and reinforcing bilateral cooperation under the EU’s Global Gateway strategy for 2017–2027, Trend reports.
Key areas of discussion included joint projects in digital transformation, transport and logistics, and green energy development in Uzbekistan. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to enhancing economic collaboration through strategic, sustainable investments.
The meeting also addressed logistical and organizational preparations for two major upcoming events: the Third European Union – Central Asia Economic Forum and the Tashkent International Investment Forum. These forums, to be hosted in Uzbekistan later this year, will gather participants from countries along the Trans-Caspian Corridor and aim to boost regional economic integration and development.
