President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev will pay an official visit to Belarus on July 31-August 1. This was announced by the Ambassador of Uzbekistan to Belarus Nosirjon Yusupov at a briefing, BelTA reports.

The ambassador noted that the parties are actively preparing for the event. “In the run-up and during the official visit of the head of Uzbekistan, we together with Belarusian partners will hold a number of activities in Minsk. These include the Forum of Regions of Belarus and Uzbekistan, the national exhibition “Made in Uzbekistan”, a ceremony to open a bust to the great Uzbek poet and thinker Alisher Navoi, and the Uzbekistan Culture Days,” the ambassador informed.

Nosirjon Yusupov expressed confidence that the forthcoming official visit of the head of state to Belarus will raise bilateral cooperation to a higher, qualitatively new level.

The ambassador also highlighted the importance of the Belarusian president's official visit to Uzbekistan in September 2018 which “opened a new page in the history of Uzbek-Belarus relations and filled them with practical content.”

The parties are expected to examine the implementation of the agreements reached at the highest level in Tashkent and prospects for further bilateral contracts.
