Following the high-level talks, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the inauguration ceremony of the joint “Shavat – Dashoguz” border trade zone.

The zone’s territory includes administrative buildings for the directorate, as well as customs, quarantine, phytosanitary, and veterinary services, a trade pavilion, and warehouse facilities.

State services based on the “one-stop shop” principle and interactive systems are provided, along with banking, medical, and hotel services, as well as a spacious parking area.

The activities of the zone will help strengthen trade and economic relations between Uzbekistan’s Khorezm region and Turkmenistan’s Dashoguz province – two key regions with a combined population of more than 3.5 million.
