Dilyor Hakimov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, noted in particular that the consolidation of mutually advantageous cooperation with all nations is the priority dimension of the foreign policy course pursued under the leadership of President Islam Karimov.

Cultural events, diverse festivals and competitions held regularly among embassies serve for the further promotion of mutual relations between partner countries.

I liked very much the Uzbek national foods, especially the plov. This traditionally organized festival serves for the consolidation of mutual relations of Uzbekistan with all countries and Germany in particular. We are glad that the cooperation between our two nations has been advancing steadily in the manufacturing industry, agriculture, education, cultural field and other spheres.”
