Uzbek delegation acquainted with Gomel Region’s economic, cultural and tourist potential

A delegation from Uzbekistan’s Fergana Region, headed by Advisor to the Governor of the Ferghana Region on localisation and industry Akmal Pulatov, paid a business visit to the Gomel Region. The delegation included members of the regional khokimiyat (administration), entrepreneurs, and university teachers.

The stay in the Gomel Region started with a visit to the memorial to the victims of the genocide of the Belarusian people on Vosstaniya Square. The guests laid flowers and wreaths at the memorial and honoured the memory of the fallen.

Chairman of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee Ivan Krupko met with the delegation. The meeting included a presentation of the economic, cultural and tourism potential of the region. The governor noted that he was sincerely glad that the year starts with an important international meeting. Co-operation with the Ferghana Region has already been established. The arrival of the delegation to the Gomel Region will give it a new, more concrete impetus.

Statistical data was provided at the meeting: about 700 enterprises in the region supply their products for export. All of them are ready to discuss co-operation issues with potential partners. There are many ways in which it can be established. One of them is woodworking, furniture production. The Gomel Region enterprises which are engaged in this field are equipped with modern equipment, have the necessary raw materials and produce high quality products.

Head of the delegation Akmal Pulatov, in turn, noted that the Fergana and Gomel regions have prospects for interaction in agriculture, medical equipment production, mechanical engineering, and tourism. He emphasised that the delegation had arrived not for show, but with concrete intentions. The products of Belarusian enterprises are well known in his country and are in demand there. Further co-operation will only benefit both parties. The establishment of a trading house will be useful in this respect.

Members of the delegation, representatives of the Fergana Polytechnic University, visited the Sukhoi State Technical University of Gomel. At the meeting with the university management they discussed co-operation in the sphere of education and scientific activity. Rectors of the Sukhoi State Technical University and the Fergana Polytechnic University have cemented their partnership with a co-operation agreement, according to which the parties will exchange students, teachers, hold joint seminars, and share experiences.
