BAKU, Azerbaijan, Aug. 7
By Ilkin Seyfaddini - Trend:
Uzbekistan is a country where the impact of climate change can be seen and felt the most, but also where the climate is almost ideal for renewable energies such as wind or solar, British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Timothy Torlot told Trend in an interview.
“And the UK has expertise and experience in these areas which we can share. The UK’s expertise in healthcare, legal matters and in banking and finance mean these areas also present a good opportunity for further cooperation. Given the President Mirziyoyev’s recent prioritization on developing the digital economy, this is another sector in particular where the UK is a world leader, and this presents another area for closer UK-Uzbekistan cooperation”, stressed the ambassador.
Torlot noted a number of opportunities for the UK and Uzbekistan in sectors such as healthcare, education, digital economy, financial and professional services, the development of the financial and banking sector, developing capital markets, establishing more education facilities (including higher education institutions), and providing professional services, e.g. developing international standards across all sectors.
“British Embassy in Tashkent helps to identify and share these opportunities with UK companies on a regular basis, and organizes trade missions to help UK companies learn more about opportunities in Uzbekistan and establish networks with the relevant ministries and companies”, said the UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan.
