The trade turnover of Uzbekistan with the CIS countries increased by a third in 2022, Interfax reports.
Over the past year, more than a thousand joint ventures have been created, the press service of the CIS Executive Committee announced.
Modern Uzbekistan is developing cooperation with partners within the CIS in three dimensions: in the field of politics and security, economic and humanitarian spheres. The priority tasks are the formation of a full-fledged free trade zone and the strengthening of transport interconnectedness in the CIS space.
Much attention is paid to joining efforts in the implementation of national programs and strategies aimed at deepening industrial cooperation, ensuring food, energy and environmental security.
In recent years, Uzbekistan has stepped up its participation in the activities of the Commonwealth, has signed more than 40 agreements, and has also joined 23 sectoral bodies of the CIS.
