Belarus intends to buy some of the sanctioned goods in Uzbekistan. This was stated by Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko during a meeting with his Uzbek counterpart Abdulla Aripov in Tashkent.

"Belarus is interested [in increasing imports of goods from Uzbekistan], especially now, under certain restrictions that exist on the part of the so-called collective West. We are ready to increase the supply of Uzbek goods [to Belarus]," Golovchenko said.

Prime Minister of Belarus said that first of all, they are yarn, metal, food, fruits and vegetables. According to him, demand for these goods is high and stable in Belarus.

Golovochenko noted that trade turnover between Belarus and Uzbekistan has increased fivefold since 2017.

It was noted that in 2021, the bilateral trade turnover between the two countries was $301.9 million, which is 7.8% more than in 2020.

Following the August 2020 presidential election in Belarus, Western countries imposed sanctions against Minsk after suppressing protests against Lukashenko's regime. Sanctions were strengthened after Belarus supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Turkey to offer Russia and Ukraine "Hong Kong model" of peace

Turkey promotes the so-called "Hong Kong model" of reconciliation, under which Russia is offered to receive the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and the Crimean peninsula for "long-term use". The Moscow-based Institute of the Middle East, which provides expert analytical services to Russian government agencies on Middle Eastern issues, writes about it. The reconstruction of Donetsk and Luhansk will be done at the expense of the Russian side. After a certain period of time (various periods of time are mentioned, on average 50 years), Russia will have to return these territories to Ukraine. As the Turkish side insists, this model is a win-win model for both sides of the conflict. ▪️ For Ukraine - because it will receive a Russian commitment, guaranteed by international observers, that it will get back the territories it considers its own and, as can be seen, no Ukrainian leadership will be able to retain its power by agreeing to the contrary. Thus, Ukraine wil...

Uzbekistan: Why do migrant workers need Russia when there is the West?

Experts from the Institute of Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research (IPMR) of Uzbekistan proposed organizing free English language courses. In this way, it would be easier to reorient Uzbeks to labor markets in English-speaking countries and reduce dependence on Russia, the Institute believes. "The high dependence of migrant workers' incomes on Russia (https://t.me/asian_states_in_ukrainian_crisis/801) increasingly aggravates the situation not only in the labor market, but also in the country as a whole. For these reasons, it is already necessary to consider new opportunities for labor exports," reads the publication (https://telp.cc/Kzz) on the website of the institute. Its authors point out that $5.6 billion or 70% of remittances received by Uzbekistan in 2021 came from Russia. That same year, the number of Uzbek migrant workers in Russia was 1,036,305 (according to the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations).   The mos t attractive destinations for the promotion...
