Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 27 January this year, Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Investments and Foreign Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sardor Umurzakov met with Vice President of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Konstantin Limitovsky.
During the meeting, the current state of cooperation, the implementation of AIIB projects in Uzbekistan, as well as promising areas for further deepening the partnership were discussed.
