Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On behalf of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Ministry of Transport and Uzbekiston Temir Yollari are working on a deep reform of the country's railway system with the involvement of the best foreign consulting companies.

For this purpose, on 20 August, a video conference was held with representatives of the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The meeting was attended by the First Deputy Minister of Transport of the Republic of Uzbekistan I. Makhkamov, Deputy Minister D. Dehkanov and Chairman of the Board of JSC Uzbekiston Temir Yollari H. Khosilov.

During the meeting, the parties discussed issues of concluding a contract for the provision of consulting services.
