In response, Sharof Rakhmanov highlighted that that the opening of a representative office of Novostal-M in Tashkent testifies to the seriousness of the company's intentions, and the mayor’s office will support the project.
The parties agreed that following the study of the Uzbek market, representatives of Novostal-M will come up with specific proposals, after which working meetings will continue to determine specific steps to organize metallurgical production in Tashkent.
