Prospects for expanding trade and economic cooperation, developing industrial cooperation, and implementing new investment projects were in the spotlight of the discussion.
The Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan, Odilkhon Rustamov, the President of the Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Giorgi Pertaia, and representatives of leading business circles from both countries attended the meeting.
Positive dynamics in bilateral economic cooperation was noted by participants. The volume of mutual trade reached US$267.6 million by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, it stood at US$89 million in 2017. US$77.2 million of this total volume were accounted for Uzbek exports to Georgia. Meanwhile, imports from Georgia attained US$190.4 million.
Both parties agree that they will increase mutual trade turnover to US$1 billion due to effective utilization of the free trade regime and transport and logistics potential.
Also, the pharmaceutical sector, electrical engineering and chemical industries, construction materials production, agricultural processing, textiles, winemaking, as well as in the fields of transport and logistics have a great potential for implementing joint projects.
Mutual intention to intensify interaction between the business communities of Uzbekistan and Georgia, support joint investment projects, and consistently develop cooperation within the framework of the Uzbek-Georgian Business Council was reaffirmed following the meeting.
