Potential cooperation was also considered in the areas of medical equipment manufacturing, telemedicine, joint educational programs, construction material production, metallurgy, and logistics.

The Chairman of the Board of Uzbekneftegaz, Abdugani Sanginov, held talks with a delegation from China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), led by President Zhou Xinhua. The parties discussed the possibility of deepening cooperation in the oil and gas sector, accelerating joint projects, and implementing new initiatives, according to the press service of Uzbekneftegaz.

CNPC is one of the five largest energy companies in the world. This meeting highlighted the stable development of ties between Uzbekistan and China, facilitated by the constant attention of leaders from both countries. CNPC has established itself as one of Uzbekneftegaz's key partners.

Participants exchanged views on the results of joint work, which covered drilling, geological exploration, seismic surveys, increasing oil recovery at fields, digitalization, design, and supply of modern equipment. According to participants, projects involving CNPC subsidiaries such as Xibu, BGP, SSDC, and SNLS contribute to strengthening the technological potential of Uzbekistan's oil and gas industry.

Special attention was paid to resolving the consequences of the incident at the M-25 field, for which well drilling works are planned to mitigate the aftermath.

Furthermore, the companies considered the issue of diversifying sources of petroleum product supplies to ensure stable supply to the domestic market. Both organizations expressed readiness to develop long-term supply mechanisms and coordinate the activities of relevant enterprises.

In light of the expanding partnership, proposals were put forward to open a permanent CNPC representative office in Tashkent and establish a modern administrative infrastructure to coordinate joint projects and develop social programs.

Cooperation in personnel training was also discussed, including support for the Tashkent branch of Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas. The goal of this initiative is to train highly qualified engineering and technical specialists for the sector and increase the human resource potential required for future projects.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the parties reaffirmed their readiness to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, implement new technological solutions, and achieve tangible results through joint endeavors.

The Andijan Region held discussions on the prospects of implementing infrastructure projects in partnership with the Chinese company China CAMC Engineering Co., Ltd. These negotiations took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
