The message reads, in part:
“In the past decades, Russia and Uzbekistan have acquired considerable experience in beneficial cooperation in all areas, arranged constructive interaction within the CIS, SCO and other multilateral structures, and coordination of efforts in countering challenges and threats to regional security.
I firmly believe that we will continue to strengthen Russia-Uzbekistan strategic partnership and allied relations in every possible way. This clearly meets the interests of our friendly nations and follows the course of ensuring peace and stability in Central Asia.”
