A business forum held in the city of Khiva brought together officials and entrepreneurs from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The event concluded with the signing of export contracts and cooperation memorandums aimed at boosting bilateral economic ties.

Key topics included trade relations, investment opportunities, industrial cooperation, and tourism development. Delegates emphasized that the launch of the cross-border trade zone “Shavat–Dashoguz” would serve as a strong driver for expanding trade volumes and strengthening regional connections.

During the forum, participants explored the investment and export potential of Uzbekistan’s Khorezm region. As a follow-up, an agreement was reached to organize a reciprocal business delegation from Khorezm to Dashoguz Province in Turkmenistan to continue dialogue and explore practical collaboration.
