On October 27, a delegation from the Uzatom agency took part in the XXX Belarusian Energy and Ecology Forum EnergyExpo-2026 in Minsk. Representatives of Uzbekistan spoke at the plenary session and a high-level international discussion round table, where energy self-sufficiency, industry resilience to global changes, and the development of regional cooperation were discussed.
Uzatom Director Azim Akhmedkhadjaev spoke about the importance of nuclear energy for the country and the progress of the integrated nuclear power plant project in the Jizzakh region. It provides for the co-location of large and small power units at a single site. This approach involves combining power facilities of different scales within a single project.
A separate topic of the forum was the Belarusian experience in developing nuclear energy. Participants reviewed prospects for cooperation in specialist training, scientific and technical research, and industrial cooperation. Heads of energy agencies and representatives of regional integration associations also took part in the strategic dialogue. The discussion focused on finding joint solutions to strengthen energy independence and develop cooperation between countries.
