A delegation from the Uzbek agency Uzatom visited Minsk, Belarus, on October 27 to hold negotiations with the Minister of Energy of Belarus, Denis Moroz. The main topic of discussion was the participation of Belarusian enterprises in the project of Uzbekistan's integrated nuclear power plant, as well as the localization of energy equipment and the development of industrial cooperation.

These negotiations took place as part of the Uzbek delegation's working trip to Belarus. The parties reviewed prospects for joint work in the field of nuclear energy and opportunities to involve Belarusian specialists and companies in the implementation of Uzbekistan's national program in the field of atomic energy.

Belarus is also providing practical support in selecting qualified personnel for the construction of the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure. According to Moroz, the production of transformer equipment is one of the promising areas for cooperation.

The Belarusian side is ready to study potential partnership between the V. I. Kozlov Minsk Electrical Engineering Plant, Uzatom, and the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom. The Minister also emphasized the possibilities of expanding industrial cooperation, including equipment supplies and the creation of joint production capacities.

Azim Akhmedkhadzhayev, Director of Uzatom, focused on the importance of working with partners who possess the necessary experience to execute the NPP project. He noted that further joint efforts must strengthen the partnership and lead to tangible results. After the meeting, the parties agreed to continue exchanging proposals on specific areas of cooperation and to define projects for further joint consideration.

The company Voltamp Energy from Oman intends to develop projects for the production of high-voltage transformers and solar energy in Uzbekistan. The company views this country as a starting point for further expansion into the markets of other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.

Discussions about these plans took place during a meeting between the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and the Chairman of Voltamp Energy, Sayid Ayman Al Busaidi. These negotiations were held on the sidelines of the first meeting of the Investment Council for the Fuel and Energy Sector.

The parties discussed prospects for strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation and agreed on the implementation of current and new Voltamp Energy projects within a special roadmap.

In an interview with the channel O‘zbekiston 24, Al Busaidi noted that the meeting at the Investment Council opened up additional opportunities for the company. He added that the reforms being carried out in Uzbekistan have increased Voltamp Energy's interest in participating in the country's energy projects.

The company chairman stated that 'our company has developed a clear plan for future activities in Uzbekistan and CIS countries,' and that the meeting with Shavkat Mirziyoyev allowed him to discuss these plans.

During the negotiations, Al Busaidi also appealed to the president to support the introduction of new technologies, professional development of specialists, and the expansion of related services.

Mirziyoyev supported the proposed initiatives and instructed relevant agencies to finalize agreements, accelerate the implementation of programs, and ensure the necessary conditions for investors.

Al Busaidi characterized the meeting as a significant stimulus for Voltamp Energy's plans in Tashkent and other regions of Uzbekistan, as well as for its long-term goals of expanding into CIS markets. He also expressed gratitude for organizing the negotiations.
