Eduards Stiprais, the EU Special Representative for Central Asia, today at the MFA of Uzbekistan, – the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan wrote in his telegram-channel. – The recent Central Asia — European Union Summit in Samarkand once again underscored the vast potential we have to utilize for the benefit of the people in both regions.
During our meeting, we covered all the aspects of dynamically growing ties — from education to green energy, as well as acute regional and global topics. Underscored mutual commitment to further expand the horizons of cooperation".
