19TH to 21ST June 2014 NAVRUZ Palace, 5, Furkhat Str. Uzbekistan Tashkent 100093 Basic Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics Export Promotion Council (Set up by Ministry of Commerce, Government of India) From Chairman Desk Over the forecast period colour cosmetics is expected to witness faster development of higher-quality mass products, as at the moment cheap or economy products still represent a significant value share in Uzbekistan. The share of stronger economy brands is expected to be supported by expansion in rural areas and cannibalisation of fragmented and small, unknown brands. In addition to this, development in the premium segment can be expected in the future, as it still remains very limited. However, global developments are expected to define general trends and innovation in Uzbekistan, as all products in the category are imported. There is remarkable increase in exports to Uzbekistan from India. BEAUTY EXPO 2014 Tashkent is the 10th leading trade show for cosmetics, beauty products, fragrances, wellness and spas industry in the CIS region. With a strong international profile, BEAUTY EXPO 2014 Tashkent has played a major role in the last 10 years in contributing to the growth and development of the beauty and wellness industry in this region.

Roads, government buildings and parks are all being reconstructed (many historical buildings and sites are bulldozed in process). To the visitor, the new city looks very impressive, although many of the local residents have yet to see any improvement in their residential areas. Tashkent is waiting for a boom. The infrastructure, hotels and shops are there. Although Uzbek is now the official language, Russian is the native language for most Tashkent dwellers, although most also speak Uzbek. Most businesses use Russian in their signs, menus and other printed material. Only government institutions use Uzbek as the first language, and even then, many government forms and reports are in Russian, rather than Uzbek. Currently, Uzbek uses the Latin alphabet rather than the Cyrillic that was used during the Soviet Union. This is a source of some confusion for many Uzbeks, especially those of the older generation. Shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union, and Uzbekistan declared independence in 1991, the written Uzbek language was converted back into Latin characters. Many older Uzbeks have difficulty reading the Latin characters. Uzbek is a Turkic-based language, and while Uzbeks and Turks cannot completely communicate directly, the better educated on both sides can usually find some common understanding. About Uzbekistan Land boundaries: total - 6.221 km., boundaries with Afghanistan - 137 km., Kazakhstan - 2.203 km., Kyrgyzstan - 1.099 km., Tajikistan - 1.161 km., Turkmenistan - 1.621 km.

Difference of temperatures depending on times of year is quite significant. Average January temperature goes lower than -6C, but average of July rises higher than +32°C. The amount of rainfall is little, that’s why agriculture mostly depends on irrigation.

It is an ancient city on the Great Silk Road from China to Europe. Little remains of the ancient city after the 1966 earthquake and earlier modernisation work following the 1917 revolution. Tashkent is a very Soviet city that has little remaining from its ancient Central Asian past. The city has a mixture of modern new office buildings, hotels, parks and crumbling Soviet style apartment blocks.

Existing reserves of mineral resources not only supply the functioning mining complexes for the long-term outlook, but also allow expansion of capacities, establishing the new mining enterprises for a number of the most important natural resources - gold, uranium, copper, lead, silver, lithium, phosphorites, potash salts, feldspar, agro-chemical ores.
