Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry F. Usmanov met with the director of the Association of Spanish Equipment Manufacturers for Eastern Europe and the CIS with Hector Rodriguez at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Uzbek side provided information on the ongoing reforms in the Republic of Uzbekistan, on the opportunities provided to representatives of medium and small businesses, as well as on the need to promote Uzbek products to the Spanish market.

It should be noted that within the framework of the GSP + program, Uzbekistan was able to export goods to the EU without additional customs duties, excise taxes and payments, which opens up a huge export potential for Uzbek producers. In this regard, Uzbekistan closely cooperates with the countries of the European Union through the export of textile and agricultural products.

In turn, Hector Rodriguez noted that the Uzbek market is a priority for the Spanish economy. He also focused on the need to attract foreign investors to Uzbekistan, to participate in tenders and open joint ventures.

Following the meeting, the parties exchanged views on the need to increase trade between the countries, as well as on the prospects for cooperation in order to organize business events between business representatives of the two countries.
