The Ministry of Mining Industry and Geology of Uzbekistan hosted a meeting between Deputy Minister Ulugbek Yusupov and representatives of Turkish company Aydeniz Group to discuss expanding investment cooperation in the country’s mining sector.
During the talks, the Uzbek side highlighted the government’s ongoing efforts to foster a favorable investment environment. These include regulatory reforms, improved infrastructure, and investor protections aimed at attracting both local and international partners to participate in mineral exploration and development.
Particular focus was placed on the transparent allocation of subsoil plots, with officials emphasizing that promising mining areas are now made available through open electronic auctions. This system, accessible to both domestic and foreign investors, is designed to increase fairness, visibility, and competition in the sector.
The Aydeniz Group expressed strong interest in exploring potential projects and praised Uzbekistan’s commitment to openness and investor-friendly reforms.
