“In Central Asia, we have accumulated unique experience in creating a nuclear-weapon-free zone. The corresponding treaty initiated by Uzbekistan went through a complex process of coordination among the participants, and it received essential guarantees from the major nuclear powers,” Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
