These agreements were signed during an opportunity provided by the Japanese Prime Minister, H.E. Mr. Shinzo Abe’s, visit to the Republic of Uzbekistan.
On October 25, JOGMEC signed a Basic Agreement (BA) for geological study in oil and gas, at the residence of the President of Uzbekistan in Tashkent, during a meeting between the heads of state and private-sector industry representatives.
