It is worth mentioning here that Pakistan and Uzbekistan are committed to achieving the target of $1 billion in the coming years through enhancing the transit and bilateral trade between both sides, says the Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Pakistan.
Currently, both of the countries are actively working on joint measures aimed at further increasing the volume of mutual trade, reaching the milestone of $ 1 billion in the coming years, and accelerating industrial cooperation, the Ambassador said this while talking to Uzbek media.
Both countries are taking specific measures to expand the export and import structure of food, textile, and electrical products, he said.
In particular, to increase trade turnover between the two countries and stimulate trade, “we are conducting negotiations on expanding the list of products within the framework of the Preferential Trade Agreement and improving interbank payments. This will serve to reduce customs payment rates and accelerate mutual trade relations.”
