Council No. 22 Announced in Tashkent

The establishment of the Syrian-Uzbek Business Council, the 22nd council in the Syrian joint business councils system, was announced in Tashkent during a two-day official visit led by Tarek Bilal, chairman of the Syrian Council for Coordinating Joint Business Councils, with a high-level delegation from the Ministry of Economy and Industry.

Minister of Economy and Industry Nidal Al-Shaar announced the formation of the council on the Syrian side in the presence of Uzbekistan's Minister of Investment and officials and business representatives from both countries. A counterpart business council was established on the Uzbek side at the same time.

Visit and Business Forum

The visit included sectoral meetings and field visits, and the signing of several agreements and direct contracts; the announcement does not list them. A Syrian-Uzbek Business Forum explored cooperation and partnership opportunities in trade, investment, industry, agriculture, transport and services.

The council follows a bilateral track that began in February 2026 with official and economic participation and business-to-business (B2B) meetings between businesspeople in the two countries.
