The President of Uzbekistan said he would particularly like to highlight the Azerbaijani President’s purposeful political course.
“It was precisely as a result of this policy that it became possible to restore the country’s territorial integrity and achieve the long-awaited peace and stability. The ancient land of Karabakh is being revived. Social infrastructure is being actively built there, and jobs and enterprises are being created. I saw with my own eyes the work being carried out in Karabakh, and I was pleased to see it. Everything is being done to enable people to return to a peaceful and prosperous life.
“Azerbaijan is our reliable ally, strategic partner and brotherly state. Our relations are based on a common civilizational code. We share common historical roots, centuries-old friendship, unshakable spiritual values, and similar cultures and traditions. It is precisely this deep bond that makes our relations monolithic and impervious to external circumstances,” Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
