PM Abdulla Aripov to visit Russia

Reportedly, within the framework of the visit on June 22, the second meeting of the joint commission on bilateral cooperation at the level of heads of government will take place in Moscow.

Earlier the Russian Ambassador to Uzbekistan Oleg Malginov said that one of the main topics of the meeting would be comprehensive preparation for the upcoming Russian-Uzbek negotiations at the highest level.

The official visit of the head of state Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the Russian Federation was scheduled for 2020. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the timing had to be changed.

Later, the press secretary of the president, Sherzod Asadov, told reporters that the state visit of the head of state to Russia will take place in 2021.

The first meeting of the joint commission at the level of the heads of government was held in Urgench in May 2019. The second meeting was supposed to take place last year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, its dates were postponed several times.
