During a meeting hosted by the Qatar Chamber, Uzbekistan's Agency for the Development of Light Industry presented a proposal for a textile and fabric manufacturing plant in Qatar, leveraging both countries' expertise, technology, and infrastructure. The Uzbek delegation, led by Oybek Khodjaev, Director of the Agency's Project Office, emphasized the importance of private-sector collaboration to increase trade and investment flows and develop partnerships in promising sectors, particularly light industries, which account for around 10 percent of Uzbekistan's economy.",
