Fergana regional administration

The meeting focused on further expanding mutually beneficial cooperation and implementing new joint projects between the two regions.
During the dialogue, it was emphasized that relations between Uzbekistan and Belarus have reached a qualitatively new level in recent years, achieving the status of a strategic partnership. It was noted that thanks to the political will of the leaders of both nations, trade, economic, interregional, and cultural-humanitarian ties are consistently developing and moving into a practical stage.

"Regular contacts are undoubtedly yielding results. During my visit to the Fergana region, cooperation agreements were signed between our regions, as well as between local government authorities, and contracts for the supply of various products were concluded," said Aleksandr Kushnarenko. "I hope that the jointly organized business forum and the meetings planned during the delegation's visit will bring new substantial results."

The export and import capabilities of both sides were reviewed in detail. The Minsk region expressed readiness to supply food and agricultural products, seeds, seedlings, furniture, wood products, and firefighting equipment to Fergana. Fergana region, in turn, is interested in exporting fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, as well as raw materials for light industry to the Minsk area. Furthermore, proposals were made to establish cooperation in livestock farming within the Minsk region, as well as in furniture manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and energy efficiency.

As part of the meeting, a TV link was organized between the two regions to launch new investment projects. Specifically, the foundation stone was laid for a plant to produce fuel pellets from cotton stalks in the Dangara district of the Fergana region. Meanwhile, the official opening ceremony of a large warehouse for Belarusian timber products took place in the Buvayda district.

At the conclusion of the meeting, a "road map" for 2026–2028 was signed, aimed at consistently developing brotherly relations and elevating cooperation between the Fergana and Minsk regions to a completely new level.
