The meeting focused on implementing promising projects to further expand ties in trade, economics, investment, transport, energy, manufacturing, agriculture, and other fields.

As emphasized, the volume of mutual trade has doubled in the last five years. There are more than a hundred joint ventures, and this figure is increasing. At the same time, the trade turnover indicator does not fully correspond to the countries’ potential. There are many untapped opportunities.
