The meeting delved into exploring avenues for enhancing collaboration between businesses, particularly in the realms of light industry, fashion, and design. The exchange also aimed to explore opportunities for integrating Italian expertise into Uzbekistan's burgeoning industrial landscape.
Central to the discussions was the imperative to diversify trade relations, a sentiment echoed by both parties. The Italian delegation expressed keen interest in broadening cooperation with Uzbekistan, especially within the realm of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Recognizing the potential for mutual benefit, plans are underway for a delegation of CNA entrepreneurs to visit Uzbekistan.
