He noted that Uzbekistan "is among our leading economic partners."
"Russia's share in the total foreign trade of Uzbekistan exceeds 18 percent - this is second place after China," Ushakov said. "According to the results of the current year, there are all opportunities to reach the trade turnover of $5 billion."
