    President Mirziyoyev met with CEO of EDF Energy

    One of the key meetings was with the President and CEO of EDF Energy, the world's largest operator of nuclear power plants. EDF boasts assets valued at an impressive $427bn and is involved in electricity production, transmission, and distribution. President Mirziyoyev expressed his support for EDF's participation in the construction of steam and gas power plants in the Syrdarya and Surkhandarya regions, emphasizing the need to expedite these projects.

The meeting highlighted a mutual commitment to expand geological prospecting and uranium mining in Uzbekistan, a critical move in securing a stable source of uranium for France's nuclear reactors.

France's heavy dependence on nuclear power necessitates the securing of a robust uranium supply. Notably, Kazakhstan has historically played a significant role as a uranium supplier to France, and the agenda for President Macron's trip includes discussions on strengthening and expanding this crucial partnership in the uranium sector.
