China’s experience will be used to develop the Syrdarya

China’s experience will be used to turn Syrdarya region into an innovative region.  President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced this today, 7 April, at the session of the Regional Council of People’s Deputies in Syrdarya.

In his speech at the session, the head of state emphasized the need to turn Syrdarya into an “area of advanced innovations” in industry, entrepreneurship, agriculture, education and medicine.

“In the innovative region, the mayor, regional and district leaders should strive for innovation every day to create conditions for residents and entrepreneurs, change their outlook and approaches.

We thought a lot about which country’s experience to bring to transform the region into an innovative region.  Admittedly, in recent years, China has made unprecedented progress in industry, agriculture, education, and medicine.  China has great experience in science, innovation, engineering, electrical engineering, robotics and IT.  The most important thing is that China is one of the biggest markets closest to us in terms of transport and logistics,” says Mirziyoyev.

He said that Chinese investors are also very interested in the region.  In the last six years, more than 60 large industrial enterprises have started working in Shirin city, Mirzaabad and Sirdarya districts together with Chinese investors.  More than 250 million dollars of Chinese investments have been attracted to the region in 2022 alone.  This is almost 90 percent of the region’s investment.

“That’s why we should rely on China’s experience in the development of all areas in Syrdarya,” says Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
