“The Ukraine-Uzbekistan relations are on the rise. A close collaboration in economy, culture and education spheres may be one of the compelling evidences of that positive development,” said Pavlo Ungurian, head of the inter-parliamentary group for liaison with the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The states marked the 25th anniversary of their diplomatic ties on the day which tallied exactly with the day of Uzbekistan’s Independence. On the occasion of this double-holiday, there was a state reception with a host of high-ranking guests of honour. A moving complimentary address was delivered to the guests by Alisher Abdualiyev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Republic of Uzbekistan to Ukraine, where it was said the mutual cooperation development was being significantly promoted by the hardships both countries suffered.
