Japanese business explores hotel and textile investment opportunities in Tashkent region

Japan’s Belluna Co., Ltd. is considering building four-star hotels in Tashkent region, as well as expanding cooperation in exporting locally produced goods and textile manufacturing.

Prospects for implementing these projects were discussed at a meeting between a delegation from Tashkent region, led by Hokim Zoyir Mirzayev, and Belluna Co., Ltd. President Kiyoshi Yasuno. The meeting took place at the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Tokyo during the Uzbekistan delegation’s working visit to Japan.

One of the main issues discussed was developing the hospitality industry and attracting Japanese investment in the region’s tourism infrastructure. Potential sites for hotel construction include the Charvak recreational area in Bostanlyk district and locations near Tashkent.

Another potential area of cooperation is introducing products from Tashkent region manufacturers to the Japanese market through Belluna’s catalogs and online platforms. These include cotton clothing, home textiles, dried fruits, nuts and natural cosmetics.

The Tashkent Regional Administration expressed its readiness to facilitate promising investment initiatives, including support for infrastructure development, workforce training, and establishing direct contacts between Japanese partners and local manufacturers and exporters.

Following the meeting, the two sides agreed to continue working on the areas discussed and take practical steps to develop the proposed initiatives.
