The President of Uzbekistan receives the Chair of the Parliament of Azerbaijan

Yesterday, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev received Chair of the Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan Sahiba Gafarova, reports “Dunyo” IA correspondent.

According to the press service of the President of Uzbekistan, the Head of the Parliament thanked the Leader of Uzbekistan for the warm welcome and conveyed sincere greetings and best wishes of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

At the meeting, it was emphasized that the basis of the strategic partnership of the two countries are common historical roots, language, religion, culture, traditions and values. Relying on this solid foundation, tangible results have been achieved in the development of bilateral cooperation in recent years.

Progress is being achieved in all spheres of interaction – economy, politics, inter-parliamentary relations, culture and social sphere. There are intensive contacts, exchanges of official delegations, representatives of business and public circles at all levels.

In recent years, despite the pandemic, the trade turnover has grown 4 times. Since the beginning of the year, trade has increased by 25 percent. More than 200 joint ventures have been established.

This positive dynamic was also facilitated by the establishment of a close and multifaceted partnership between the parliaments of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. To further develop cooperation, it is necessary to strengthen systematic and regular cooperation between the legislative bodies of the two countries.

At the same time, parliaments, as direct representatives of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan peoples, should play a key role in promoting people’s diplomacy, including by strengthening ties between the regions of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, supporting economic and humanitarian projects.
