The council was officially established in October 2026. An agreement to create the body was signed by the presidents of Uzbekistan and Türkiye, Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, following talks in Ankara on 29 October. The Uzbek presidential press service reported the signing.

The council aims to strengthen trade, economic and investment cooperation, expand ties between business communities in the two countries and create favourable conditions for business development.
