Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Strategic Industries Oleh Urusky considers it necessary to strengthen cooperation with Uzbekistan.

He said this during a meeting with Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Ukraine Alisher Kurmanov, the press service of the Ministry for Strategic Industries reported.

"We emphasized the need to revitalize the work of the Joint Ukrainian-Uzbek Commission for Comprehensive Cooperation. Its last meeting was held in 2007, and now we have 2021. This situation is unacceptable and requires appropriate measures to resume the effective work of the commission," the report reads.

In addition, Urusky supported the ambassador's proposal to organize and hold exhibitions of Uzbek products in Ukraine and of Ukrainian products in Uzbekistan.

The minister noted that the volume of trade in goods and services between the two countries in 2020 increased to USD 449.6 million, which is 130% more than in 2019 (USD 345 million). Exports of Ukrainian goods to Uzbekistan grew by 137% and amounted to USD 295.6 million. Imports also increased up to USD 137 million.

As reported, Urusky held a number of important meetings as part of the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2021, which are aimed at expanding Ukraine's cooperation with the UAE, Jordan and Brazil.
