Uzbekistan National News Agency (UzA) and the Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BelTA) have signed a Memorandum on Information Exchange aimed at expanding bilateral cooperation in the media sphere and enhancing the efficiency of news sharing.

The parties agreed to exchange reliable news in both Russian and English on key domestic and international developments regularly. Special attention will be given to providing information support for visits by heads of state, official delegations, as well as major interstate events held in Uzbekistan and Belarus.
