In a significant move towards bolstering technological and manufacturing capabilities, Samarkand and Tianjin are poised to embark on a monumental industrial park project estimated to cost $1.6 billion. This ambitious initiative, announced on September 6, promises to be a game-changer in the fields of electric vehicle (EV) parts production and artificial intelligence (AI) product sales.

The announcement follows a high-profile meeting between Samarkand Region Governor Erkinjon Turdimov and Cheng Min’er, Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee. The two leaders discussed a range of potential collaborations, particularly in electrical engineering and pharmaceuticals, setting the stage for an expansive industrial partnership.

The planned industrial park will be situated approximately 45 kilometers from Samarkand, within the Pastdargom district. Spanning an impressive 234.3 hectares, the park is set to become a hub for a diverse array of manufacturing activities. The project envisions the establishment of 81 distinct manufacturing facilities dedicated to producing medical, textile, chemical, construction, and agricultural products.

A notable aspect of this development is the emphasis on electric vehicle parts and artificial intelligence. Governor Turdimov has proposed that the Chinese partners explore opportunities to set up production lines for EV spare parts and components within the park. Additionally, there is a strategic focus on developing online sales channels for AI products, reflecting the growing global demand for cutting-edge technology solutions.

The partnership between Samarkand and Tianjin marks a significant step in enhancing regional economic development and fostering international cooperation. By leveraging their combined expertise, the two cities aim to create a dynamic industrial ecosystem that will contribute to their respective economic growth and technological advancement.
