Radiy Khabirov sums up Bashkortostan delegation's Uzbekistan trip

On 21 October, Bashkortostan head Radiy Khabirov summed up the regional delegation's working trip to the Samarkand and Tashkent regions of Uzbekistan during a press briefing with journalists. He said one key aim of the trip was launching construction of the Bekabad Bashkortostan-Uzbekistan industrial technopark.

The delegation included representatives of the Regional Fund, the Bashkortostan Investment Management Company and construction firms. Khabirov said the legal status of Bekabad was set by a decree of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and a capsule was laid to mark the start of construction. The companies Ortostan.ru and Burintekh are ready to become the technopark's residents.

Khabirov also reported talks with Josef Lasselsberger, founder of Lasselsberger Group, who showed the delegation a dry construction mix plant in the Samarkand region. Bashkortostan is studying building a similar plant. A delegation led by Health Minister Airat Rakhmatullin joined an event on rehabilitation and palliative care, including hospices, organised by the wife of the Uzbek president. Meetings with khokims also took place.
