True resilience lies in the performance of the real sector of the economy, Belarusian Prime Minister Aliaksandr Turchyn said at an investment forum in Uzbekistan. He described the country as a strategic partner.
“The theme of our plenary session is investment resilience. In conditions of global turbulence, this concept takes on a distinctly practical meaning. True resilience today is measured not by abstract financial indicators, but by the stability of the real sector. It is the ability of the state and businesses to create long-term production and logistics chains protected from external shocks. And the main instrument here is deep interstate cooperation,” Turchyn said.
According to him, Uzbekistan is a strategically clear and reliable partner. The prime minister noted that Uzbekistan ranks third among CIS countries in terms of trade in services with Belarus. Merchandise trade has also grown significantly. The goal is to increase bilateral trade to $2 billion.
“What is needed is a qualitative transition to mutual investment in real assets. I believe there is already a solid foundation for this. In terms of accumulated Belarusian investment, Uzbekistan ranks second among CIS countries. I am convinced that today’s event will give momentum to strengthening investment cooperation,” he added.
