Uzbekistan’s Uzatom Agency and Russia’s Rosatom signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop radiation processing technologies for medical and agricultural sectors.
The agreement aims to foster long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation in establishing multifunctional ionizing processing centers across Uzbekistan.

“The signed MoU with Rosatom reflects Uzbekistan’s commitment to introducing innovative technologies across key sectors of our economy.
