The delegation of Uzbekistan, led by the Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Sardor Umurzakov, visited the office of DP World (UAE), the largest port operator with 60 operating and 11 under construction terminals in 31 countries.
During negotiations with the company’s management, represented by the CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, implementation of a major joint investment project in the field of international logistics in the Navoi region was discussed.
