Tashkent, Oct 17 (IBNS) The Central Asian Trade Forum (CATF) organized by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and co-hosted by the Ministry for Foreign Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan, will be held on Oct 17-18 next here.
CATF is an annual event attracting representatives of business circles of Central Asian countries, international organizations, prominent political and public figures of the region and the world. This year over 1000 delegates are expected to attend the forum.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry for Foreign Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the U.S. Agency for International Development on holding the Central Asia Trade Forum in Tashkent was signed during the official visit of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the United States in May 2018.
