Uzbekistan - Russia Firstly, Uzbekistan's strategic partnership and cooperation with Russia in bilateral relations have significantly strengthened in recent years. As a result of joint efforts based on openness and mutual trust, a significant expansion of the scope of mutual cooperation in trade-economic, investment, energy, transport, agro-industry, scientific-technical and cultural-humanitarian spheres was achieved. Today, Russia is a strategic partner, close neighbor and ally of Uzbekistan. Russia is considered one of the main investors in the economy of Uzbekistan. The Russian Federation ranks first with the number of foreign enterprises in our country.
In mutual relations, projects aimed at the implementation of promising projects in the fields of education, tourism, information and communication, housing and communal services are being implemented. Cooperation in the field of education and science can be seen that the pace of international relations has accelerated. The number of students studying in Russian higher education institutions has exceeded 40,000. Branches of Russian higher education institutions are operating in our country. Among them are the branch of Moscow Dalat University, the National Technological Research University (MISiS), the National Nuclear Research University (MIFI) and the first foreign branch of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. Within the framework of the Uzbekistan-Russia education forum in 2022, more than 20 universities conducted cooperation. All this confirms that the strategic partnership between Uzbekistan and Russia has a solid foundation and a legal basis. On June 14-17 of this year, an interstate agreement on the supply of Russian gas to Uzbekistan was signed within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. It envisages that Russia will import 2.8 billion cubic meters of gas to Uzbekistan annually during 2023-2025.
