The online meeting discussed work implemented to set the forthcoming gathering of the working group with the focus that Uzbekistan has submitted all necessary documents to the WTO secretariat and member countries for the sixth working group meeting.

Despite many events, the parties expressed their readiness to provide full assistance in organizing and holding the 6th working group meeting on WTO membership and provide advice and technical support for the country's further accession process.
