Political
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze held talks in a restricted format and with members of the official delegations of the two countries.
The head of state noted that the current state visit of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Georgia is the first in more than two decades and is of particular importance for raising Uzbek-Georgian relations to a qualitatively new level.
The parties discussed expanding practical cooperation in the political, trade and economic, investment, transport and transit, tourism, and cultural and humanitarian spheres.
The dynamic contacts at all levels were noted with satisfaction. The parties supported the continuation of active intergovernmental, interparliamentary, business, and cultural and humanitarian exchanges.
Last year, trade turnover between the two countries amounted to $270 million, and since the beginning of this year, it has exceeded $100 million. A separate roadmap was agreed upon to increase this figure to $1 billion in the coming years, eliminate trade imbalances, and increase mutual supplies of in-demand products, including holding cross-industrial exhibitions.
Strengthening transport and transit cooperation and creating favorable conditions for fully exploiting the potential in this important area were discussed.
Particular attention was paid to measures to actively utilize the infrastructure of the Poti and Batumi ports for transporting domestic cargo. Plans to create a logistics hub with an industrial zone and a showroom for Uzbek products within its territory were supported.
The head of state welcomed the launch of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway corridor. It was proposed to explore the possibility of linking it with the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway currently under construction.
Industrial cooperation was identified as a separate priority for cooperation. The results of the joint business forum held the day before, which resulted in the signing of a Cooperation Program until 2027, were highly praised.
Agreements were reached on the implementation of new projects in the agricultural, electrical engineering, and energy sectors, pharmaceuticals, food, and light industries, construction materials production and development, digitalization, IT development, digital banking, and tourism. To support project initiatives, it was proposed to establish a joint Investment Fund.
Cultural and humanitarian ties are actively expanding. In March of this year, the Days of Georgian Culture were successfully held in Tashkent.
