Mirziyoyev meets with leading foreign investors

On June 7, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev received a delegation of prominent foreign investors, including Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al Mirqab Capital, and Adebayo Ogunlesi, Senior Managing Director at BlackRock. The meeting was reported by the Presidential Press Service.

During the talks, the sides discussed the development of mutually beneficial cooperation and the implementation of promising investment projects in Uzbekistan.

Priority areas identified for collaboration included large-scale infrastructure and industrial projects under public-private partnerships. These projects cover the modernization of gas and electricity networks, water supply systems, energy generation and storage capacities, as well as the construction of high-speed railways, real estate developments, and business infrastructure.

As a result of the meeting, the parties agreed to adopt a comprehensive "roadmap" to guide the systematic promotion and implementation of these investment initiatives.

For context, on May 20, during his official visit to Hungary, President Mirziyoyev also met with Sándor Csányi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OTP Bank Group. At that meeting, it was noted with satisfaction that the bank’s operations in Uzbekistan’s banking and financial market have seen significant growth since 2023.
