Economy
Uzbekistan’s Navoi Region and Belarus’ Gomel Region are expanding cooperation in industry, trade, healthcare and workforce development. On August 21, Navoi Regional Governor Normat Tursunov and Ivan Krupko, Chairman of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee, signed a cooperation plan for 2026–2027.
During the Uzbek delegation’s visit, cooperation agreements were also signed between Gomel State Medical University and Navoi State University, as well as between the healthcare authorities of the two regions.
The regions are seeking to expand trade and industrial cooperation. Navoi is interested in supplies of Belarusian agricultural machinery and combine harvesters, while the planned opening of trading houses in Gomel and Navoi is expected to support direct commercial ties.
Healthcare and education are also key areas, with plans covering professional training, student exchanges, experience sharing and expanded pharmaceutical supplies.
“We also have agreements between various institutions, including medical and educational organizations. They are exchanging experience — it is a ‘one plus one’ approach. Our students go there, and their students come to us,” said Mehroj Botirova, head of the Secretariat of the Navoi regional administration.
The roadmap includes industrial cooperation, increased supplies of Gomel meat and dairy products to Uzbekistan, and joint investment projects. The Uzbek delegation also visited enterprises in the region, including Gomselmash, where it reviewed agricultural machinery production.
Uzbekistan is among the ten largest trading partners of the Gomel Region. Bilateral trade turnover between the regions has tripled over the past five years, while more than 50 enterprises with Uzbek capital are registered in the region.
