Belarus - Uzbekistan, main benchmarks in cooperation and fraternal nature of the talks

11 февраля 2024

The main political news this week came from the East, which is known to be a delicate matter. The official visit of the President of Belarus to Uzbekistan was called historic.

What is Uzbekistan for us? Minsk and Tashkent have long-standing ties dating back to the Soviet times, which became a good basis, but they lacked dynamics for a long time. Everything changed when two presidents, Lukashenko and Mirziyoyev, gave an impetus to it. And then the process started! There is a record trade turnover, but they are ready to go for a billion dollars.

Hundreds of joint projects, and earlier they could be counted on the fingers of one hand. And the main thing is the excellent personal relations between the leaders, which was obvious even from here, from Minsk. Big plans for trade, industrial cooperation, work in the market of third countries, as well as training in healthcare are not surprising. The signed roadmap for the next two years has fixed all this.

As Alexander Lukashenko said, "it is clear where to move!" Central Asia is waiting for Belarus.
