The purpose of the visit is to study ways of implementing the agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries within the framework of the China-Central Asia mechanism, as well as to study and implement the mature experience and successful examples of Xinjiang /Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China/ in the field of combating desertification, reclamation of saline lands and the dissemination of relevant technologies.
Director of the ANC SIEG Zhang Yuanming warmly welcomed the delegation. He informed the guests about the Institute's effective cooperation with research institutions of Uzbekistan in such areas as water resources management in arid zones, protection of biodiversity, combating soil salinization and desertification. In particular, the results of work on the reclamation of saline soils and the efficient use of water resources have already received high praise from the government of Uzbekistan.
