Significant progress has been made in cooperation with Masdar – in January 2020, the main legal agreements were signed on the project for the construction of a 500 MW wind farm in Navoi region. Preparations for construction work have also been completed as part of a project to build a 100 MW solar power plant in the same region. Masdar won the tender for the construction of this power plant in October 2019, and in November an investment agreement and an agreement on the purchase of electricity were signed with the Emirati partners.
The practical aspects of ongoing investment projects were considered separately and further actions were outlined to accelerate their implementation.
Opportunities for expanding investment cooperation and industrial cooperation were also discussed by jointly working out new investment projects in the fields of petrochemistry, energy, agriculture, infrastructure, telecommunications, healthcare, tourism and the financial sector.
An agreement was reached on organizing a joint working group to determine the most promising areas of cooperation and to attract specialized consultants to analyze the investment attractiveness of specific projects and initiatives.
The parties also agreed to establish active cooperation in the field of healthcare, meaning the attraction of advanced Emirati experience and technologies in this area, as well as the implementation of joint measures aimed at countering the spread of coronavirus infection and protecting public health.
