Malaysia eyes Central Asia expansion via Uzbekistan as gateway
TASHKENT: Malaysia is poised to expand its market presence in Central Asia by leveraging Uzbekistan as a strategic gateway, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Speaking at the conclusion of his four-day working visit, Fadillah emphasised the potential for deeper bilateral ties in key sectors such as energy, palm oil, and Islamic finance. Fadillah noted that discussions with Uzbek leaders and private sector representatives yielded agreements to enhance trade and investment, particularly in renewable energy and carbon trading. 'They invited Malaysia to participate in energy system installations, grid upgrades, and smart grid development,' he said. Uzbekistan also sought Malaysia's expertise in water security and sukuk markets, where Malaysia is a global leader. On palm oil exports, Fadillah urged Uzbekistan to collaborate with the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) to establish the country as a regional hub. 'Awareness programmes will help promote palm oil benefits and strengthen Uzbekistan's role as Malaysia's entry point into Central Asia,' he added. In a move to boost tourism, AirAsia X will launch direct flights between Malaysia and Uzbekistan starting October, with potential weekly services to Samarkand. Fadillah also highlighted ongoing technical training under the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP), which has benefited 832 Uzbek officials since 1992. The visit included meetings with Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Energy Minister Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov. Fadillah's next stop is Russia for further diplomatic engagements from June 24-28.

Petronas urged to consider re-investing in Uzbekistan
TASHKENT: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) has been urged to consider re-investing in Uzbekistan to boost the republic's oil and gas sector. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the Uzbekistan government had submitted an official request to Malaysia for Petronas to reconsider investing in the republic. 'They (Uzbekistan) expressed their desire for Petronas to be involved again in gas investments in Uzbekistan. I agreed to bring the request back to the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) for consideration. 'I also discussed how we want to improve technical capabilities in the energy sector. That is why they (Uzbekistan) send a lot of students to universities in Malaysia, especially Universiti Teknologi Petronas and so on,' he said at a press conference, concluding a four-day working visit to the republic that began on Saturday. In mid-2013, Petronas withdrew from the production sharing agreements in the Ustyurt region and the Baysun Investment Block Development in the Surkhandarya region. In 2014, Petronas closed its representative office in Uzbekistan. Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said that during his meeting with Uzbekistan's Energy Minister Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov, the country also expressed its desire to establish a specialised university to produce more experts in the fields of electrical and renewable energy such as the Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten). 'So we agreed to help them and we proposed Uniten as one of the models for them to implement it. Later, they will send their team to visit and see how to develop the curriculum and also how this expertise can be shared,' he added. The Uzbek government also proposed that more students from that country be given the opportunity to continue their studies at Universiti Teknologi Petronas, in line with efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of education.
