In a bid to enhance convenience for Korean companies operating in Uzbekistan, Ambassador Moon plans to request Uzbekistan to grant permissions for stable currency exchanges to Korean companies. In addition, he will consult with his Uzbek counterpart on the signing of a temporary labor agreement between the two sides to mitigate difficulties related to visa issuance of nationals and their stay in each other's country.
