countries.
Abdulla Aripov also called the concept of development of
industrial cooperation in the CIS adopted in June at the initiative
of Uzbekistan and the set of measures for its development until

“In order to further accelerate the work in this direction, we
propose to develop a set of additional measures to encourage mutual
investments and promote projects,” said the Prime Minister of

hold a forum on industrial cooperation and innovative development
of the CIS countries within the framework of the“Innoprom”
industrial week in Tashkent in April 2024.
“We also support the synchronization of national import
substitution programs. This will help promote joint projects in the
priority sectors of the economy,” added the head of the government
of Uzbekistan.
The Prime Minister proposed to speed up the adoption of the
agreement on the creation of a common e-commerce platform of the
CIS and elimination of technical barriers for the Commonwealth
countries.
Abdulla Aripov also touched upon Shavkat Mirziyoyev's initiative
to form the CIS free trade zone and revise the rules of the
relevant agreement without exceptions and limitations.
“We propose to speed up the adoption of the agreement on
elimination of technical barriers and mutual recognition of the
results of conformity assessment of technically regulated objects,”
added the prime minister.
Abdulla Aripov noted that he is in favor of preparing a separate
“roadmap” that includes measures to support cooperation between the
CIS regions, including the holding of the first interregional forum
of the Commonwealth of Independent States, exhibition events and
measures to activate mutual visits of representatives of business
circles.
The prime minister also paid attention to the field of cultural
and humanitarian cooperation.
“In Samarkand, which has been declared the cultural capital of
the Commonwealth of Nations, we plan to hold a week of art and
cinema of the CIS countries in the spring of next year,” he
said.
The prime minister also said that Uzbekistan is preparing an
intense program of events in Tashkent, which has been declared the
youth capital of the Commonwealth in 2024.
