The administration of the Fergana region reported that the Fergana region and Afghanistan have reached an agreement to accelerate the implementation of joint investment projects in the fields of construction, textiles, agriculture, and aviation.

Entrepreneurs from Afghanistan expressed interest in partnering with local enterprises of the Fergana region in key sectors such as construction, textile industry, agriculture, and aviation.
