Economy
Uzbekistan is launching a large-scale strategic campaign to bolster its energy independence and the stability of its domestic market. Amidst the growing demands of the national economy, a government delegation held a series of high-intensity, closed-door meetings in Moscow with key figures from the Russian energy sector. This initiative extends beyond merely purchasing scarce motor gasoline or aviation fuel; it focuses on establishing a long-term technological partnership that includes the uninterrupted supply of Russian raw materials to Uzbekistan's refineries and accelerating a mega-project to construct a nuclear power plant.
Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Jamshid Khodjaev conducted extensive negotiations in Russia aimed at deepening energy cooperation. During a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak, the parties discussed regular supplies of oil, motor gasoline, aviation fuel, and raw materials for Uzbek refineries. A vital item on the agenda was the construction of the first power unit of the integrated nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan, a project recently launched by the leaders of both nations.
Furthermore, Khodjaev held a series of meetings with the heads of major energy corporations. Discussions with Igor Sechin (Rosneft) and Alexander Dyukov (Gazprom Neft) focused on the prospects of industrial cooperation and joint projects within the fuel and energy sector. The reliability of gas supplies, particularly during peak winter demand, and ensuring the overall energy security of the republic were the core topics during talks with Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Jurabek Mirzamahmudov, the Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan.
