⚡️ Belarus Offers Support for Uzbekistan Nuclear Power Plant 🤝 Belarus has expressed readiness to help Uzbekistan build a nuclear power plant, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said during a meeting with Uzbekistan’s ambassador to Minsk, Rakhmatulla Nazarov. 🏗 Lukashenko highlighted Belarus’s experience working with Russia on nuclear projects and invited Uzbek representatives to visit whenever needed. Nazarov noted Tashkent is particularly interested in Belarus’s specialised towns for nuclear industry workers. 💰 The two countries also discussed boosting bilateral trade to $2 billion, up from $855 million last year, with over 200 Belarusian-backed companies operating in Uzbekistan. Nazarov said their economies complement each other rather than compete. 🌍 In 2024, Uzbekistan and Russia signed an agreement to build a nuclear plant in Jizzakh Region, expected to supply electricity to Jizzakh, Samarkand and Navoi regions, supporting agriculture, industry, and reducing reliance on natural gas and variable renewable energy. #News
