Uzbek Foreign Minister met with President of Turkmenistan

On November 13, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov received Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan Abdulaziz Kamilov, the State News Agency of Turkmenistan reports.

During the meeting, it was noted that the economic sphere was traditionally identified as a priority component of the bilateral relations. The transport and communication sector is also one of the key areas of the interstate partnership. The two countries’ combined efforts serve as an instrumental factor for building extensive transit-transport and logistics infrastructure.

The Foreign Minister of Uzbekistan highlighted that the very constructive dialogue had been established largely thanks to the trust-based and friendly relations between the leaders of the two countries. Fruitful cultural-humanitarian contacts are seen as an integral part of the bilateral ties and the Turkmen–Uzbek House of Friendship, whose opening ceremony in the city of Urgench was attended by the two countries’ leaders during the state visit by the head of Turkmenistan to the Republic of Uzbekistan, has an important role to play in this.

At the end of the meeting, the President of Turkmenistan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan expressed confidence that the relations between the two countries, which are built on a long-term basis and the bonds of friendship and fraternity, would continue to develop for the benefit of the Turkmen and Uzbek nations.
