Strategic partnership of Belarus and Uzbekistan: results of the inter-parliamentary forum in Khiva

Strategic partnership: development of dialogue, new challenges and prospects for cooperation. This was the topic of the IV Uzbek-Belarusian inter-parliamentary forum in Khiva, which was held this week on the banks of the Amu Darya, in ancient Khiva. The Belarusian delegation was headed by the Chairman of the Council of the Republic Natalia Kochanova. The President sent greetings to the participants, which emphasized the special importance of the event.

The main priority of the forum was the economy. And almost 60 contracts worth $140 million concluded on its fields are perfect proof of this. There are many points of intersection of mutual interests. Hence the high density of contacts at all levels. The most important and interesting thing from the inter-parliamentary forum on the Uzbek land is in the ONT report.

The program of the visit is extremely rich: negotiations, thematic sections and the signing of dozens of new contracts. But the numbers later.

The most emotional point of attraction was the exhibition of Belarusian and Uzbek manufacturers. Here it is – the harmony of dranics and pilaf, Eastern and Slavic patterns. Modern technological solutions and skill of local jewelers. Presentations, tastings and direct supply negotiations went hand in hand with the review. Many of our companies present their products here for the first time. A lot of people bring new stuff.

This is a well-known, dynamically developing market, a market where we find new growth points and new niches for bilateral cooperation. The enterprises represented from the Belarusian and Uzbek sides confirm not only the high quality of their products, but also concrete examples of bilateral economic cooperation between our countries, said Sergey Aleynik, Chairman of the Standing Commission of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of Belarus.

The interest of tourists is also growing. The historical and cultural potential of Uzbekistan and Belarus opens up new opportunities for travelers who do not need visas and interpreters. Especially when direct flights Minsk-Tashkent-Minsk – several times a week.
