Tashkent: Russia has announced to set up a nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan. In this way Russia wants to supply not only electricity but also high-tech products to Central Asia.
Experts believe that Putin has two main motives behind this. First, to build strong relations with the allied countries of the disbanded Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and second, to stop China from gaining a foothold there.
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed the agreements with President Putin on Monday. The implementation of these agreements will demonstrate not only Russia's energy export potential but also its willingness to export advanced technology.
“We are also interested in buying oil and gas from Russia,” the Uzbek president said after those agreements. Putin described Tashkent as a “strategic partner of Moscow” and Uzbekistan as a reliable ally.
It is well known that after Russia's attack on Ukraine, the West, including the US, has put Russia in the 'untouchable' category. Meanwhile, Putin is building close ties with Central Asian countries. In fact, the name of this is to recreate the disintegrated Soviet Union in a different form.
