On April 14, 2019, the Ambassador of Uzbekistan to Israel, Said Rustamov, met with the CEO of the engineering company LR Group, Ami Lustig.
The LR Group specializes in the development, financing, construction of large-scale integrated projects and their management in such areas as agriculture, energy medicine and infrastructure construction.
During the talks, the issues of the Israeli company’s participation in the implementation of several socially significant projects in Uzbekistan, particularly in the fields of medicine and agriculture, involving Israeli experience and know-how, were discussed.
One of such projects is the construction of a diagnostic center and oncology clinic in the republic with advanced technological equipment and highly qualified personnel from both leading Israeli medical institutions and domestic medical personnel trained by a specially designed program. Interest was also expressed in establishing a nephrology center for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease in Uzbekistan.
Taking into account the experience of Israel in cattle breeding, as well as the similarity of the climatic features of our countries, the possibility of creating a high-tech dairy complex in Uzbekistan was considered. To implement these and other promising projects, LR Group proposed to attract funding from international financial and credit institutions, as well as jointly with its Austrian partner Agrotec, to create with the Uzbek side a trilateral investment fund in which funds from foreign private investors will be accumulated.
According to the press service of the MFA, an agreement was reached on organizing a regular visit of representatives of the LR Group to Uzbekistan within the framework of participation in the planned Uzbek-Israeli agroforum in May of this year with substantive negotiations in relevant departments of the republic.
