At the beginning of his remarks, the President of Uzbekistan sincerely congratulated the friendly people of Mongolia on the upcoming national holiday – the Day of the People’s Revolution.

“We genuinely rejoice in the impressive success and achievements of our Mongolian friends in implementing socio-economic reforms and fully support your peaceful foreign policy”, the Leader of Uzbekistan stated.
It was emphasized that Mongolia is currently demonstrating consistently high economic growth. The country is modernizing its industrial sectors, agriculture, and infrastructure. A large-scale reconstruction project of the city of Kharkhorin has begun. Mongolia’s international standing is steadily rising thanks to a consistent, pragmatic, and proactive policy.

It was noted that the first visit of the President of Uzbekistan to Mongolia became a historic event in developing friendship and multifaceted cooperation between the two countries.
The President of Uzbekistan emphasized that one of the key outcomes of the visit was the signing of an important document – the Joint Declaration on Comprehensive Partnership – which marks the beginning of a new stage in cooperation between Uzbekistan and Mongolia.

It was stated that during the negotiations, all significant issues and promising areas of practical cooperation were thoroughly discussed, and specific tasks and forward-looking plans were identified.

An agreement was reached to continue close cooperation and mutual support within the framework of the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and other multilateral platforms.
According to the President of Uzbekistan, the primary focus during the talks was on economic cooperation. Tasks were set to significantly increase trade volumes in the coming years, primarily by expanding the range and quantity of high-demand goods. It was emphasized that opening a trade house with a showroom of Uzbek products in Ulaanbaatar will serve as a physical foundation for this effort.

This includes implementing projects in extracting and processing mineral resources, agriculture, animal husbandry, and cooperation in light industry, particularly in the advanced processing of wool, leather, and other materials.

As landlocked countries, it was agreed to jointly develop efficient transport routes with the broad involvement of experts. It was noted that starting this autumn, direct flights between the two capitals will be launched.

An agreement was reached to continue active cultural, education, and tourism exchanges. The Days of Uzbek Culture and meetings between tourism organizations of both countries are currently taking place in Ulaanbaatar.

The parties agreed to hold reciprocal concerts, exhibitions, and film screenings regularly and to participate in festivals.

The President of Uzbekistan also expressed readiness to resume the enrollment of Mongolian youth in leading universities of Uzbekistan within the framework of allocated quotas.
