The Uzbek-Chinese investment fund with a capital of 1 billion US dollars will be created

August 27 during the visit of the governmental delegation of the Republic of Uzbekistan headed by the Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov in China, an agreement was signed between the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade and the Chinese CITIC Corporation on the creation of a joint Uzbek-Chinese investment fund with a statutory fund of $ 1 billion USA.
