“The signing marks a practical step forward in what Tashkent has positioned as a pivotal external economic relationship — one increasingly defined by technology and investment rather than traditional commodity trade,” the commentary added.
Prior to the signing ceremony, Fogel met with Saida Mirziyoyeva, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s daughter and chief of staff.
