BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 28. Uzbekistan and
Jordan discussed opportunities to expand trade, investment, and
industrial cooperation during a visit to Jordan by an Uzbek
delegation led by Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade Laziz
Kudratov on October 26–27, the country’s Ministry of Investment,
Industry and Trade said.


During the visit, the Uzbek delegation held talks with
representatives of Jordanian government agencies and leading
companies to identify opportunities for cooperation in industry,
agriculture, pharmaceuticals, energy, geology, mining and transport
logistics.


An Uzbekistan-Jordan business roundtable was also organized in
cooperation with the Jordan Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
bringing together representatives of the business communities of
both countries.


The discussions focused on expanding industrial cooperation,
establishing joint production facilities, attracting investment and
increasing bilateral trade. Uzbek officials presented the country’s
investment opportunities and business environment to Jordanian
partners.







The visit concluded with the identification of promising areas
for cooperation and potential joint projects, as well as an
agreement on further steps toward their implementation.


The talks reflect Uzbekistan’s efforts to diversify its economic
partnerships, attract foreign investment and expand trade ties with
Middle Eastern countries.


Uzbekistan and Jordan have also sought to strengthen ties
through high-level political dialogue. In July, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev met with Jordanian Deputy
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi to review the
implementation of agreements reached at a bilateral summit in
Samarkand the previous year. According to the Uzbek presidency,
progress included the establishment of inter-parliamentary
friendship groups, the first meeting of the Joint Intergovernmental
Commission, the creation of a Business Council, and the launch of
direct air connectivity. The sides also discussed expanding trade,
investment and cultural cooperation.
