Shavkat Mirziyoyev receives Deputy Prime Minister of Russia

At the beginning of the meeting, the guest conveyed greetings and best wishes to the head of state from Russian president Vladimir Putin and prime minister Mikhail Mishustin.

As part of the implementation of agreements reached during the Russian leader’s state visit to Uzbekistan in May last year, discussions focused on mutually beneficial practical cooperation, including the expansion of collaboration in the construction sector and regional development.

"Special attention was given to the development of large-scale cooperation in the construction sector. In particular, the discussion focused on the design and construction of infrastructure facilities within the framework of socio-economic development programs for the regions, involving organizations and companies from both countries, as well as the supply of construction materials and equipment," the statement said.

The importance of continuing the exchange of experience in urban planning, design, expertise, digitalization, and public procurement was emphasized.
