🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin made press statement following Russia-Uzbekistan talks (Tashkent, May 27, 2024)
Key talking points:
• We have reviewed virtually all important political, economic, cultural and humanitarian issues of Russia-Uzbekistan cooperation.
• The Joint Statement that we signed following the talks defined long-term guidelines for expanding bilateral contacts and set the corresponding goals.
• A number of intergovernmental agreements and commercial contracts were concluded during the visit. Many of them are aimed at intensifying practical cooperation primarily in the economy.
• Our countries are in the process of switching to settlements in national currencies, which we believe is vitally important. Cooperation between lending and banking institutions in financial settlements is expanding. The share of the ruble in mutual commercial transactions reached 58 percent as of late 2023 and continues to grow.
• Over 3,000 companies with Russian participation are operating on the Uzbekistan’s market, which is a good start. More broadly, Russian capital investment in Uzbekistan’s economy has exceeded US$9 billion.
• Interaction on a large-scale project to create an International North-South Transport Corridor from Russia and Belarus to the Indian Ocean coast looks promising. One of its routes will pass here, next to Uzbekistan or across the territory of Uzbekistan.
• The Russian authorities are doing and will continue to do everything necessary to ensure decent working conditions and social protection for the citizens of Uzbekistan working in Russia.
• Bilateral cultural and humanitarian ties are traditionally multifaceted. We are grateful to the leadership of the Republic of Uzbekistan for caring about the Russian language and Russian culture in general. We believe it is important that Russian is used as a language for interethnic communication in Uzbekistan.
