A branch of the Turkish special industrial zone "Gebze" can be established in Uzbekistan.

The press services of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade delivered that the parties touched upon issues of systemic interaction in the field of transport and freight, the development of cooperation in the framework of technical assistance and soft loans from the Turkish government.
