It has been proposed to hold the “Central Asia–Azerbaijan” business forum in 2027.
According to elchi, this proposal was made by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, during his speech at the opening of the 8th Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Azerbaijan and Central Asia in Avaza.
The President of Uzbekistan noted that economic cooperation between the Central Asian countries and Azerbaijan should be raised to a new level.
According to him, the parties should not be content with just mutual trade, but should create joint industrial and technological chains and produce common products.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev expressed this approach with the formula “6 economies – 1 product.” He stated that the participation of several countries in a unified production chain will create stronger ties between their economies than ordinary commodity exchange.
Mirziyoyev also proposed to continue the work on improving the regulatory and legal framework governing the activities of the Consultative Meetings of the Heads of State of Central Asia and Azerbaijan.
