The talks focused on the prospects for promoting bilateral trade and economic cooperation.
The interlocutors noted the growth in trade through mutual exports of consumer goods that are in demand in the two countries. The areas of partnerships to be promoted include halal certification, which will increase competitiveness of Uzbek goods in the market of Islamic countries.
