TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, December 3. Uzbekistan’s Kuva District in the Fergana Region has launched the construction of a major $50-million project in partnership with Russian investors, Trend reports via the Fergana Regional Administration.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held with the participation of Fergana Region Governor Khayrullo Bozorov and Omsk Region Governor Vitaly Khotsenko. Investors, district officials, and community representatives attended the event on-site in Kuva.
