At the start of the meeting, Volodin delivered Vladimir Putin’s greetings and warmest wishes to the President Mirziyoyev.

Special emphasis was placed on expanding inter-parliamentary cooperation to oversee the implementation of the agreements and treaties reached during the Russian President’s state visit to Uzbekistan in May 2023.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev underscored the importance of thorough preparations for the second session of the Inter-Parliamentary Commission and proposed holding it in Uzbekistan with the active participation of regional representatives from both countries.

It was noted that parliaments should play an active role in supporting and accelerating priority trade, economic, and investment projects, as well as joint programs in labor migration and cultural-humanitarian exchanges.
