Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Russia’s Kamchatka Territory intends to strengthen its economic and humanitarian ties with Uzbekistan.
Potential areas of cooperation were discussed by Kamchatka Government Chairwoman Yulia Morozova and a delegation from Uzbekistan’s Consulate General in Vladivostok, led by Khajiakbar Vakhabov.
The talks focused on prospects for mutual food supplies. In particular, the sides discussed the possibility of exporting fish from Kamchatka to Uzbekistan and supplying Uzbek fruit and vegetables to the Russian peninsula.
Morozova linked the current talks to the development of agreements reached in November 2024, when a delegation from the Kamchatka Territory government visited Tashkent.
During that visit, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and the Uzbek capital signed a protocol of intent to develop partnership relations.
To move from discussions to concrete commercial projects, the participants proposed organising reciprocal business missions.
The format is expected to help companies establish direct contacts, find partners and sign contracts without intermediaries.
In addition to trade, the sides considered opportunities for cooperation in tourism, culture and humanitarian affairs.
Consul General Khajiakbar Vakhabov said Uzbekistan was interested in expanding contacts and developing new areas of cooperation.
Youth initiatives were also on the agenda. The Uzbek delegation is expected to be invited to the All-Russian Youth Environmental Forum, which will be held in Kamchatka.
