In 2019, Uzbekistan plans to increase exports to Ukraine to $220
million and resume flights between Tashkent and Kiev, Trend reports
citing Uzbek media.
The announcement was made by the Uzbek Ambassador to Ukraine
Alisher Abdualiyev.
In addition, it is planned to develop projects to attract direct
investments of $10 million in Uzbekistan for the production of
pharmaceutical products. It is also planned to hold cultural and
humanitarian activities.
It should be noted that over the past two years, Uzbek-Ukrainian
business meetings and negotiations were organized to stimulate the
export of Uzbek textile, leather and footwear products, home
appliances and cars. During these events, export contracts totaling
more than $120 million were signed.
"Flights between Tashkent and Kiev are temporarily suspended,
which negatively affects the development of tourism in Uzbekistan.
Now work is underway to resume direct flights to Kiev from the
second half of 2019, which will help to eliminate the factors
hindering the mutual tourist exchange," Abdualiyev said.
