Head of Vitebsk region Alexander Subbotin discussed with Deputy Khokim of Kashkadarya region of Uzbekistan Alisher Zakirov the progress of the implementation of the Cooperation Agreement between the regions
Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin discussed with the Deputy Khokim of the Kashkadarya region of Uzbekistan Alisher Zakirov the progress of the Cooperation Agreement signed between the regions last year.
It concerns the trade, economic, scientific, technical, cultural, and humanitarian spheres.
Welcoming the Uzbek guest, Alexander Subbotin stated that his arrival at the XI International Economic Forum "Innovations. Investments. Prospects" held in Vitebsk is further evidence of serious intentions. During the visit of the Vitebsk region delegation to Uzbekistan last year, several breakthrough areas beneficial to both sides were identified.
Alisher Zakirov reported that the Kashkadarya region is interested in supplying veterinary drugs, baby food, and wastewater treatment systems. He also noted the need to develop tourism exchange, which is at a very low level. For example, last year only 50 tourists from Belarus visited the Kashkadarya region. However, historical sites such as Samarkand and Bukhara are located near the region. Alisher Zakirov proposed organizing mutual informational familiarization tours for tour operators.
The Uzbek side also showed interest in school furniture and oil flax varieties, the fibers of which are planned to be added to cotton during fabric production. One of the woodworking firms has prepared a technological proposal for the supply of structures for the construction of wooden houses.
Alisher Zakirov presented Alexander Subbotin with a gift from the Khokim of the Kashkadarya region Murotjon Azimov.
