History

Central Asia is one of the most ancient regions habited by man and one of the oldest centers of human cultures, as attested by numerous relics. The territory of

present day Uzbekistan was the crossroads of Eurasia and a branch of the ancient Silk Road.

It connected Europe and China, passed through the oasis settlements of Kokand, Samarkand

and Bukhara.

Samarkand- The Gem of The East

Samarkand is the second largest city of Uzbekistan and is of the same age as Rome, Athens and Babylon - more than 25 centuries old. Ancient Arab manuscripts refer to it as the “Gem of the East”, Europeans called it the “The Land of Scientists”.

Shakhrisabz, the birthplace of Tamerlane, 160 km from Samarkand, is located in a small valley, surrounded by the foothills of the Pamir Mountains. It was only a small town at the time of Tamerlane, but at his behest, his descendants continued the development of Shakhrisabz long after his death.

  Among the architectural monuments of Tamerlane's time there are the remains of the massive portal of the Ak-Saray Palace, which took 20 years to build and was destroyed by Abdulla Khan of Bukhara en the 17th century.

• An example is the establishment of the UzDAEWOO Joint Venture in the town of Asaka, the Ferghana valley. The 'Nexia', 'Tico‘, 'Damas‘ and “Matiz” cars, produced by this company (about 100,000 automobiles per year), are also being exported to the states in Central Asia and Russia, etc.
• In spring of 1999, the Uzbek-Turkish Sam Koch auto joint company began operations in Samarkand. This company produces thousands of comfortable and compact buses and lorries of different modifications.
• The Republic is rich in mineral resources. More than 100 types of mineral deposits can be found in its depths. Uzbekistan is one of the leaders in the world in terms of its reserves in copper, silver, gold, lead, zinc, tungsten and natural gas.
• The country holds fourth place in the world for cotton production.

Uzbekistan oil and gas industry

• At present there have been 171 oil and gas fields discovered in Uzbekistan. Fifty one of them are being exploited for oil production, while other 27 for gas, and 17 for condensates.
• Totally, among the 171 discovered fields, 73 fields are producing hydrocarbons, 53 fields are prepared for development, and 35 fields are explored.
• The production of oil was exceeded 8 million ton and the production of gas 55.6 billion cubic metres.
• Putting into operation of the Bukhara Oil Processing Plant in August 1997 was the turning-point in the development of the country's oil processing industry. It was constructed in co-operation with the French Technip and Japanese Marubeni companies. The capacity of this plant is 2 million tonnes of oil per year.

• The implementation of the project on the reconstruction of the Ferghana Oil Processing Plant in co-operation with the Japanese Mitsui company will give an opportunity to process the highly sulphurous Uzbek oil and produce fuel, diesel oil and aircraft kerosene.
• The construction of the biggest gas and chemical complex in Central Asia for the polyethylene and ethylene production located in the Shurtan region, the Kyzil Kum desert, was a joint venture between a consortium of companies. These included AAB Lumus Global (USA), Mitsui and Nisho Ivai (Japan) and was another important step in the development of the oil and gas branch of Uzbekistan's industry. The construction of this plant gives the Republic an opportunity to solve its problem with polyethylene self-sufficiency, which is the basic product for the chemical industry.
