This collaboration, spanning multiple sectors including industry, engineering, agriculture, and tourism, marks a pivotal moment in regional cooperation.
At a meeting held in the reception house of the provincial administration, Khairullo Bozorov, the regional governor, warmly welcomed a delegation led by Deng Bo, the deputy chairman of the Federation of Industry and Trade of Chengdu, China. Discussions during the meeting revolved around prospective projects to be undertaken in Fergana by Chinese entrepreneurs in diverse sectors.
Deng Bo extended his congratulations on the occasion of the Navruz holiday, emphasizing the significance of cultural exchanges in strengthening bilateral relations. He outlined plans to establish a sprawling Chinese industrial park in the region, focusing on automobile manufacturing and integrating the production lines of Chinese industrial giants. Moreover, initiatives were proposed to facilitate the export of agricultural products from Fergana to China and to enhance cooperation in the burgeoning tourism sector.
Governor Bozorov reiterated the importance of each proposed initiative in bolstering Fergana's economy, affirming the region's commitment to supporting and collaborating on all fronts. Both parties agreed to draft a comprehensive "Road Map" outlining the specifics of their cooperation and to expand collaborative efforts based on mutual interests.
A notable outcome of the meeting was the inauguration of the Chengdu trading house in Ferghana, symbolizing a concrete step towards market integration.
