The Korea Consumer Agency (President Lee Hee-sook, KCA) held an online ceremony to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Uzbekistan Consumer Protection Agency (Director Khaitmetov Elmurat Sidikmatovich) and a conference on June 29.
The Korea Consumer Agency, in cooperation with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), has been providing online consulting since
January this year to help Uzbekistan establish a systematic consumer protection system.
The June 29 event was held to complete the six-month-old project and reaffirm the two sides’ commitment to mutual cooperation. The Uzbek Embassy in Korea also attended the online event, demonstrating interest in the event.
The event was divided into two sessions. In the first session, participants shared the outcomes of the project in consumer education, law, and counseling. An MOU was also signed to promote the rights and interests of consumers in the two countries by promoting cooperation on international
events, personnel and information exchange for sharing experiences and cooperation in controlling circulation of hazardous goods.
In the second session, participants held an online conference under the themes of "The Future of Consumer Affairs in Uzbekistan” and "The International Cooperation and Consumer Protection in the Pandemic Era.” They discuss ways for the two agencies to promote the outcomes of the
project and the future direction of consumer administration.
The Korea Consumer Agency is committed to continuing efforts to maintain partnership with the Uzbekistan Consumer Protection Agency to improve the consumer protection system and address the ever-diversifying consumer affairs.
