Uzbekistan organized a business mission for construction material producers to Turkmenistan with the aim of increasing exports and strengthening direct business ties between entrepreneurs of both countries.
The mission is being conducted under the leadership of the Uzkorilishmateriallari Association. In 2024, the volume of construction material exports from Uzbekistan to Turkmenistan amounted to 18 million US dollars, and in 2025, this figure increased to 24.2 million US dollars.
As part of the visit, Uzbek entrepreneurs are visiting construction and infrastructure sites in Ashgabat, studying the local market, and holding meetings with representatives of the industry business. Participation in the Uzbekistan–Turkmenistan business forum is also planned.
Representatives of Uzbek companies have already visited major construction markets and commercial complexes in Ashgabat and held a meeting with the management of the AK Gaya construction complex. The discussion focused on the possibilities of supplying Uzbek construction materials to Turkmenistan, expanding the product range, and establishing long-term trade relations.
The Uzbek delegation presented its production and export capabilities to its Turkmen partners, as well as provided information on product quality, prices, and delivery options for the Turkmen market. The main objectives of the business mission are to increase the export of construction materials, find new areas of cooperation, and expand trade ties between entrepreneurs of the two nations.
Uzbekistan and Turkey have reached an agreement to expand the list of goods that can benefit from a preferential trade regime. This decision was made following a meeting of the Working Group of Uzbekistan and Turkey on the preferential trade agreement.
During official meetings in Uzbekistan, a Turkish delegation led by Deputy Minister of Trade Mustafa Tuzcu visited the country. The co-chairs of the meeting were Akram Aliyev, Deputy Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade of Uzbekistan, and Mustafa Tuzcu.
During discussions, both sides focused on mutually expanding the range of products covered by the conditions of preferential trade. At the conclusion of the third round of negotiations, participants reached a common understanding on the main issues.
The meeting concluded with the signing of a protocol confirming the inclusion of additional categories of goods in the list eligible for the preferential regime, taking into account the interests of both countries.
Participants emphasized that the agreements reached should contribute to further stimulating bilateral trade, increasing export and import volumes, and supporting the goal of the two states to increase trade turnover to 5 billion US dollars.
