St. Petersburg and Uzbekistan Strengthen Industrial Alliance: City to Showcase Achievements at INNOPROM Central Asia

St. Petersburg and the Republic of Uzbekistan are discussing a new phase of deepening trade and investment cooperation. The collaboration spans high-tech mechanical engineering, agriculture, and light industry sectors.

A working meeting was held at the Committee for Industrial Policy, Innovation, and Trade of St. Petersburg with Davron Dekhanov, the Trade Representative of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the Russian Federation. The key theme of the dialogue was expanding export opportunities and preparing for upcoming large-scale business events.

It was emphasized during the meeting that the Central Asian direction is one of the most crucial priorities in the city's foreign policy. Today, Uzbekistan consistently ranks among the top three trading partners for St. Petersburg within the CIS.

Furthermore, it was noted that St. Petersburg will present a large-scale collective stand at the VI International Industrial Exhibition "INNOPROM. Central Asia" in Tashkent. This platform will serve as a key venue for securing new contracts and showcasing the innovative developments of St. Petersburg's industrialists.

Regional activity aligns with the global objectives set by the presidents of both countries. According to the approved "roadmap," mutual trade between Russia and Uzbekistan is projected to reach $30 billion by 2030.
