Uzbekistan and Qatar are preparing to launch large-scale joint investment projects spanning seven key sectors of the economy, marking a new phase in bilateral economic cooperation.

During a working visit to Doha, Uzbekistan’s Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade, Laziz Kudratov, held a series of high-level meetings with Qatari government officials, heads of state agencies, and senior executives of leading national holding companies, The Caspian Post reports via UzDaily.

The discussions focused on strengthening investment ties and expanding trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.

As part of the government-level agenda, Kudratov met with Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Trade Affairs, Ahmad bin Mohammed Al-Sayed, and Minister of Municipality, Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah al-Attiya. He also held productive talks with top representatives of key financial and industrial institutions, including the Qatar Free Zones Authority, the Qatar Fund for Development, the Qatar Investment Authority, the Qatar Development Bank, and Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company.

Following negotiations with major Qatari business leaders, the two sides reached firm agreements to launch new joint initiatives. Investments will be directed toward seven strategic sectors in Uzbekistan: transport infrastructure, education, logistics, the chemical industry, energy, agriculture, and tourism.

To ensure efficient implementation, both sides agreed to assign dedicated officials to each sector. These coordinators will be responsible for developing detailed bilateral roadmaps and overseeing the timely transition of projects from planning to execution.
