Uzbekistan – U.S.: Cooperation in water supply and agriculture

As part of a business trip to the United States, a working group comprising representatives of the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and specialists from the water management and agricultural sectors held a series of meetings and negotiations aimed at achieving practical results.

With the participation of Deputy Head of the Administration Timur Butunbayev, practical dialogues were organized on issues related to the rational use of water resources in the agro-industrial complex and the introduction of innovative technologies.
