Director-General of TMZ Zafar Isokov, General Designer of Antonov company Alexander Dveirin and founder of Welfare Investment Alliance Alisher Abdualiev in Tashkent discussed the cooperation issues in the field of aircraft construction.
The sides agreed on a "road map", as well as agreed to create a working group of specialists who will thoroughly study the technological potential of the Tashkent plant and the possibility of organizing the production of aircraft parts upon the order of the Antonov company.
Tashkent Mechanical Plant produced Il-76 transport aircraft and Il-114 passenger aircraft, as well as wings for An-70 aircraft in Uzbekistan.
