Khalilur Rahman arrived in Uzbekistan to attend the World Summit on Investing in Children's Wellbeing: A Path to Sustainable and Equitable Development for Future Generations, scheduled to take place in Samarkand on October 21–22.
At the beginning of the meeting, Mirziyoyev congratulated Khalilur Rahman on his election as President of the General Assembly and noted that Uzbekistan was the first country he had visited in that capacity.
Khalilur Rahman, in turn, conveyed warm greetings from UN Secretary-General António Guterres to the Uzbek President.
The two sides discussed measures to further strengthen cooperation between Uzbekistan and the United Nations and its agencies.
Uzbekistan has initiated 15 resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly in recent years, including two approved in 2026. The country also actively participates in the work of the organization’s principal bodies and institutions and has nominated itself for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2035–2036 term.
Both sides expressed interest in further cooperation on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting regional cooperation in Central Asia, addressing the effects of climate change, and strengthening a culture of peace and interfaith dialogue.
Discussing bilateral relations, the two sides also expressed readiness to expand Uzbekistan’s multifaceted partnership with Bangladesh, one of South Asia’s rapidly developing countries.
