BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 10. Uzbekistan's Fergana region is seeking to attract more Chinese investment in automotive components, information technology and agriculture as the region moves to expand economic cooperation with Chinese businesses.
This was reflected in the statement by the Fergana Regional Administration following a meeting between Fergana Region Governor Khayrullo Bozorov and a delegation of Chinese investors led by Zhang Zhonghua to discuss new investment projects planned for the region.
The talks focused on expanding cooperation with Chinese investors and creating favorable conditions for the implementation of new projects in Fergana.
During the meeting, Zhang, who serves as an adviser to the regional governor on attracting Chinese investment, said efforts were underway to bring more Chinese businesses interested in investing in Fergana to the region.
Chinese investors have expressed particular interest in projects involving automotive components, information technology and agriculture, according to the regional administration.
The delegation spent two days in Kuva district, where it assessed the area's investment potential, available resources and conditions for implementing new projects. The sides are developing specific plans for launching investment projects with Chinese partners in the district.
Information was also presented on investment projects planned for Fergana district.
Bozorov expressed the regional government's readiness to support Chinese investors and provide practical assistance throughout the implementation of their projects.
"The Fergana regional administration is ready to support the initiatives of Chinese investors and provide the necessary assistance and practical support during project implementation," Bozorov said.
The meeting concluded with an agreement to accelerate investment cooperation between Fergana and Chinese partners, attract additional investors and continue joint efforts to implement promising projects.
The push for greater Chinese investment reflects Uzbekistan's broader efforts to expand regional investment flows beyond Tashkent and strengthen direct economic ties between Chinese companies and the country's regions. For Fergana, attracting projects in manufacturing, technology and agriculture could help diversify its industrial base while creating new production capacity and strengthening integration into regional supply chains.
