Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Japan will provide Uzbekistan with 90 modern gas distribution stations to help modernize the country’s gas supply infrastructure. The total value of the equipment will amount to US$3 million, Hududgazta’minot JSC said.
The project is being implemented as part of long-term cooperation between Hududgazta’minot JSC and Japanese company ITO Corporation. The Japanese side plans to provide the equipment to Uzbekistan free of charge this year as a grant.
