As part of the visit, al-Sayed toured the exhibition held alongside the forum, which spanned an area of approximately 6,000 square metres and featured nearly 90 companies representing more than 10 key sectors of the Uzbek economy including petrochemicals, retail, engineering, electrical equipment, construction materials, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals and food processing.

The visit provided an opportunity to explore Uzbekistan’s industrial and commercial potential and to examine promising avenues for partnership and collaboration between the two countries.
