Representatives of about 60 companies invited by our organization to participate in this forum expressed great interest in cooperation with the flagship of the Uzbek non-ferrous metallurgy. In the first half of this year, bilateral trade turnover between China and Uzbekistan amounted to 62.5 billion US dollars, which indicates the strengthening of economic relations between the two countries. Thanks to industrial cooperation projects between China and Uzbekistan and key cooperation projects between China and Uzbekistan, China's export of metallurgical equipment and mining machinery continues to grow. We also intend to organize trips for Chinese enterprises to Almalyk to study investment projects being implemented at the AMMC and promote the development of industrial cooperation."
