He noted that Iran’s presence at the International Industrial Exhibition in Tashkent is a sign of Tehran’s determination to develop economic and trade relations with the Central Asian country.
President Raeisi said that Iran has turned threats and sanctions into opportunities, emphasizing that Tehran is ready to transfer its experiences in various scientific and economic fields to Uzbekistan.
Raeisi stressed that there is no obstacle in the way of expansion of relations with neighboring countries.
Uzbekistan’s president said his country is interested in the expansion of cooperation with Iran and in various fields, including science, technology, transportation, energy infrastructure, medicine and agriculture. He also invited Iranian companies and the private sector to participate in Uzbekistan’s economic projects.
Iran and Uzbekistan signed 17 memoranda of understanding and cooperation documents during a visit by Raeisi to Uzbekistan’s Samarkand last year, when he had traveled to the country to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.
