In Paris, the opening ceremony of the first Trade House of Uzbekistan in France was held.
The event was attended by the Minister of Foreign Trade of Uzbekistan Zh. Khodzhaev, Ambassador of our country in France S. Rustambayev, Chairman of the Board of JSC Uztrade D. Kadirov and Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Regions of France P. Cascli.
The main task of the Trade House UzFranceTrade is to promote the export of products from Uzbekistan to the Fifth Republic and other European countries. To this end, it is envisaged to operate a constantly operating show room with a showroom, where a wide range of domestic products will be presented.
Within the framework of the event, a separate meeting of the delegation of our country with representatives of business circles of France was held, at which issues of promotion of Uzbek agricultural and textile products were discussed. The parties agreed to actively develop cooperation by supporting entrepreneurs at the state level.
The ceremony was marked by the signing of agreements for the supply of textile products in the EU for 1 million US dollars, as well as the first batch of dried fruits with a volume of 100 tons to the French market.
In an interview with our correspondent in Paris, the Minister of Foreign Trade of Uzbekistan Zh. Khojayev noted:
– Today non-raw export of the republic is represented in insignificant volumes. Basically, this is due to the complexity of the output of domestic products to such a demanding market as France. Our task is to make it as easy as possible by bringing our standards in line with European requirements. So we will be able to realize the trade potential and meet the demand for fruit and vegetable and textile products from our country.
