We must rely on the experience of China in the development of industries in the Syrdarya - Shavkat Mirziyoyev

Currently, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev is taking part in a session of the regional council of people's deputies in the Syrdarya.

In his speech at the session, the head of state stressed the need to turn the Syr Darya into a “territory of advanced innovations” in the field of industry, entrepreneurship, agriculture, education and medicine.

“In the innovation territory, khokims, heads of regions, districts should strive for innovation every day, change their worldview and approaches to creating conditions for the population and entrepreneurs,” Mirziyoyev said.

The President stressed that he thought a lot about what state experience to bring to the region in order to make it an innovative territory.

"Admittedly, in recent years, China has made unprecedented progress in industry, agriculture, education, and medicine. China has a strong background in science, innovation, engineering, electrical, robotics, and information technology. Most importantly, China is one of the largest markets closest to us in terms of transport and logistics.

Chinese investors are also showing great interest in the region. Over the past six years, Chinese investors have opened more than 60 large industrial enterprises in the Shirin, Mirzaabad and Syrdarya regions. In 2022 alone, more than $250 million of Chinese investment was attracted to the region. This is almost 90% of the region's investments.

Therefore, we must rely on the experience of China in the development of all industries in the Syr Darya,” the President stressed.
