"It is important to take coordinated measures to maintain the pace of trade, ensure balance in export and import, promote industrial cooperation projects, effectively utilize the transport and transit potential, and actively involve the regions of both countries in economic cooperation," the statement said.

Furthermore, special attention was given to expanding partnerships and exchanges in digitalization and the development of tourism infrastructure.

To implement the agreements reached, it was agreed to enhance cooperation between the governments of Uzbekistan and Georgia in the future.
