"Humanitarian cooperation also remains among our unwavering priorities. For centuries, our peoples have lived side by side, traded, and shared knowledge and cultural traditions. As modern cooperation deepens, our sense of commonality is growing even stronger.
While preserving their national identities, our peoples are also gradually forming a shared regional identity. We are confident that a qualitative renewal of cooperation in this field will further strengthen the spirit of unity, solidarity, and mutual understanding among our peoples.
I fully support all the initiatives and proposals voiced today aimed at further strengthening our cooperation. The Declaration signed today reflects the agreements reached and our shared objectives," the Uzbek President said.
