The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) is taking place in Shanghai from November 5 to 10. During the event, a journalist from russian.china.org.cn spoke with Azamat Rakhmonov, Head of the Department for Cooperation with China at the Ministry of Investment, Industry, and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Azamat Rakhmonov noted that Uzbekistan has been participating in the exhibition since 2018 and has done so regularly since then. "We are already seeing the effectiveness of this platform in attracting partners from China," he emphasized. He added that both the number of participants and visitors is growing every year. International companies actively use the EXPO to expand partnerships and enter new markets.
The representative reported that more than 50 Uzbek companies are participating in the exhibition this year, representing over 150 types of products—from agricultural goods and light and food industry products to chemical and geological products.
"Thanks to our participation in the EXPO, Uzbek companies are finding more and more partners interested in our products. We see that Uzbek goods are becoming recognizable in the Chinese market," Rakhmonov noted. He added that interest from Uzbek companies in participating in the exhibition is extremely high: "If capacity were available, over a thousand companies would express a desire to join the event."
He emphasized that, given China's growing openness, the country is Uzbekistan's largest trading partner. "We are opening trading houses in various Chinese provinces to promote Uzbek products. We also plan to create several permanent exhibition spaces where Chinese companies can see our goods," Rakhmonov said.
The representative also expressed confidence that the opening of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway under construction will provide new opportunities for the supply of Uzbek products to the Chinese market.
