Bishkek, Feb. 16, 2023 / Kabar/. President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev sent a congratulatory message to the head of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Mirziyoyev in his message said that Uzbekistan highly appreciates the relations of eternal friendship and good neighborliness between the Uzbek and Kyrgyz peoples, who have been united by a common language, religion and culture since ancient times.
“Over the past period, joint intergovernmental commissions, inter-parliamentary friendship groups and a business council have been created, close cooperation is being carried out with our Kyrgyz partners in all spheres of state and public life.
Especially, through joint efforts, we have managed to take our long-term partnership in priority areas to a new level. In particular, the increase in mutual trade in recent years by several times, which has exceeded the mark of USD 1 billion, the entry into the practical plane of our relations in the implementation of large joint projects in the fields of industrial cooperation, water management, energy and transport serve as a clear proof of our opinion.
The Council of the Heads of the Border Regions is successfully functioning as a unique mechanism for realizing the full economic potential of our border regions, strengthening the bonds of brotherhood, and expanding cultural and humanitarian exchanges between the two peoples. The start of concrete work on the Kambarata HPP-1 project, which is of great importance on a regional scale, and the construction of the strategically important China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, without exaggeration, clearly demonstrates the close friendship between our countries to the entire international community.
The fruitful negotiations in the spirit of mutual trust and openness that took place during my visit to the unique Kyrgyz land in January of this year, as well as the historic agreements reached with you, will undoubtedly become a new page in Uzbek-Kyrgyz relations. In particular, the elevation of our ties to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership and the final resolution of state border issues that have been waiting for resolution for many years are a clear reflection of our effective diplomatic relations.
With good aspirations and common efforts, as well as through the exchange of visits at the highest and high levels, in the future we will be able to bring our multifaceted and mutually beneficial cooperation to an even higher level,” the Uzbek president said.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev wished Sadyr Zhaparov good health, family happiness and great success in his responsible state activities, and the multinational Kyrgyz people - peace, prosperity and constant progress.
