India and Uzbekistan have signed a protocol concluding their bilateral market access talks, a key step in the latter’s ongoing accession to the WTO, Uzbek presidential WTO envoy Azizbek Urunov announced recently on LinkedIn.
The substantive agreements with the Indian side regarding market access were reached in 2024.
Uzbekistan is now working to secure its full WTO membership before the end of 2026.
Expressing his gratitude to India for its consistent support of Uzbekistan’s integration into the WTO, Urunov said Uzbekistan will immediately forward an original copy of the signed protocol to the WTO Secretariat for consolidation, ensuring the document is officially integrated into the country’s comprehensive accession package.
Uzbekistan had originally aimed to complete its WTO accession process ahead of the organisation’s 14th Ministerial Conference in March 2026, though that deadline got over without a final resolution.
