Exclusion of Uzbek Cotton From US

The exclusion of Uzbek cotton from the "black list" of the US Department of Labor will open the way for further cooperation with Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Adidas, Nike and other well-known world brands, according to Akmal Eshniyozov, Chief Officer of the Main Department of Analysis of Global Markets at the Ministry for Foreign Economic Relations, Investments and Trade.

"This decision was achieved thanks to the coordinated joint actions of the government of Uzbekistan, the International Labor Organization and international non-governmental organisations. This fact will have a positive impact on the image of Uzbekistan and will open the way for possible cooperation with leading foreign brands in the textile industry. It will also create new opportunities for increasing exports of textile products to the markets of developed countries, particularly in EU countries, North America and Japan," Eshniyozov said.
