A Pakistani company will implement an investment project in Uzbekistan’s agriculture and livestock sectors

Ambassador of Uzbekistan, Alisher Tukhtayev, held a meeting with Wasim Ur Rehman, Director of the Pakistani company “Samsons Group of Companies.”

During the meeting, the parties discussed in detail the further development of trade and economic cooperation between Uzbekistan and Pakistan, particularly the implementation of joint projects in agriculture, livestock farming, and meat production. Special attention was also given to expanding investment cooperation, as well as attracting advanced technologies and modern management practices.

The company’s head, Wasim Ur Rehman, emphasized that relations between Uzbekistan and Pakistan have been steadily and consistently developing in recent years. He noted that the openness and attractiveness of Uzbekistan’s economy are creating new opportunities for foreign investors. He also expressed strong interest in implementing promising investment projects in Uzbekistan.

The head of the diplomatic mission, Alisher Tukhtayev, provided the Pakistani side with detailed information about the favorable conditions created for investors in Uzbekistan. In particular, he highlighted the activities of free economic zones, ready engineering and communication infrastructure, tax and customs incentives, as well as government support measures.

It was also emphasized that the Government of Uzbekistan has introduced additional incentive mechanisms aimed at ensuring food security in the country, especially stabilizing the supply of meat products. In particular, it was noted that from April 1 to August 1, 2026, 50% of air cargo transportation costs for importing cattle and sheep meat will be subsidized by the state.
