President of Uzbekistan meets with Amir of Qatar in Baku

The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev met with the Amir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, on the sidelines of the Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) in Baku.

At the meeting, the steady development of the strategic partnership and multifaceted practical cooperation was noted with satisfaction. 

It was noted that productive high-level dialogue in recent years has brought bilateral relations to a new stage of development. Uzbekistan is actively cooperating with Qatari companies in energy, the chemical industry, food security, transport, construction and other sectors. Investment volumes have also increased significantly since the beginning of this year.

Growing cultural and humanitarian ties are also bringing the peoples of the two countries closer together.

The leaders also identified promising areas for further bilateral cooperation. Plans include the participation of a high-level Uzbekistan delegation in the Doha Forum in December, as well as meetings of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission and Business Council on the sidelines of the event.

The leaders also exchanged views on current international and regional issues.
