His best-known work sets out a vision of Uzbekistan’s industrial transformation, anchored by the region’s first ultra-pure copper refinery in Navoi and a decisive shift from exporting raw materials to producing high-value, technologically critical goods. It was selected by the Agency for Strategic Development and Reforms under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and published in Central Asia 2050, where the editors singled it out as a bold vision of industrial transformation. Its central argument is that a nation prospers when it stops exporting its talent and begins investing in it, and that the generation willing to stay and build is the country’s greatest resource.Uning eng maşhur işi Özbekiston sanoatini tubdan özgartiriş konsepsiyasini bayon etadi. Uning negizida mintaqada birinçi bölgan Navoiydagi öta toza mis işlab çiqariş zavodi hamda xomaşyo eksportidan yuqori qöşilgan qiymatli, texnologik jihatdan öta muhim mahsulotlar işlab çiqarişga qatʼiy ötiş turadi. Iş Özbekiston Respublikasi Prezidenti huzuridagi Strategik rivojlaniş va islohotlar agentligi tomonidan tanlab olingan va Central Asia 2050 naşrida çop etilgan; muharrirlar uni sanoatni özgartirişning dadil konsepsiyasi sifatida alohida qayd etgan. Uning asosiy ğoyasi şunday: millat öz isteʼdodlarini çetga boy berişni töxtatib, ularga sarmoya kirita boşlaganda ravnaq topadi, yurtda qolib bunyod etişga tayyor avlod esa mamlakatning eng katta boyligidir.
