In response, the Head of Bashkortostan and entrepreneurs of this region were invited to a meeting of the President with businesspeople and an international forum to be held in Karakalpakstan on August 20 this year.

Several vital issues related to strengthening bilateral partnerships were discussed at the meeting. According to the agreement signed between Karakalpakstan and Bashkortostan, cooperation will continue within the framework of the plans defined in the roadmap, which are scheduled to be implemented by 2026.
