--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04.03.2022



A briefing was held for the media on the outcomes of the first day of a state
visit of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The President of Uzbekistan and the Prime Minister of Pakistan noted with
satisfaction the results of the talks, which traditionally took place in an
atmosphere of openness and trust.

Delivering a speech in front of the journalists, the President has once more
congratulated the people of Pakistan on the upcoming Pakistan Day. The President
emphasized that the current visit symbolically takes place on the eve of a great
historical event – the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic
relations between the two countries. Especially in recent years, the
intensification of a constructive dialogue at the highest level has
predetermined the dynamic growth of the level of partnership and trust between
Uzbekistan and Pakistan.

«We together with Pakistan are building a solid bridge of cooperation not only
between the two countries, but also between the strategically important regions
of Central and South Asia», Shavkat Mirziyoyev has highlighted.

The common views and aspirations of the two countries are also confirmed by the
similarity of the national programs of long-term development and economic
well-being the «New Uzbekistan» and «New Pakistan».

The trade-economic ties are developing consistently. Over the last year, the
trade turnover has grown by 50%. During the talks, the goal was set to increase
the trade turnover to $500 million in the coming years and bring it to $1
billion in the long term.

The signing of a Preferential Trade Agreement during the visit was an important
step.

The important agreements on deepening industrial cooperation have been reached
in such key areas as pharmaceuticals, textiles, leather and footwear, food
industry, agriculture, construction, banking and financial sector and others. On
the outcomes of the business events held on the eve of the visit, about 60 new
investment and trade agreements for $800 million were signed.

The Leaders agreed to accelerate the implementation of the major joint transport
and communication projects aimed at strengthening the connectivity of Central
and South Asia.

The importance of the prompt construction of the strategic railway line «Termez
– Mazar-i-Sharif – Kabul – Peshawar» was emphasized, since for Uzbekistan this
railway line shall open up the way to international seaports through the
territory of Pakistan.

«We believe that the construction of the «Termez – Mazar-i-Sharif – Kabul –
Peshawar» railway line, namely the Project of the Century, will contribute not
only to the well-being of the countries, but also to the peoples of our vast
regions», Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted.

The enormous potential of interregional interaction was noted, which is
successfully demonstrated today by Namangan Region and Punjab Province. An
agreement on further expansion of contacts between other regions was reached.

During the talks with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, a productive exchange of
views on the current issues of the regional agenda and the current situation in
Afghanistan took place. The serious concern about the deterioration of the
humanitarian situation in this country was expressed.

The President of Uzbekistan has called on the international community to
consolidate efforts to help the Afghan people.

Uzbekistan and Pakistan are effectively developing the interactions in security,
strengthening cooperation in the military-technical sphere, the fight against
terrorism, extremism and transnational crime.

The mechanisms of joint work on the regional and international platforms have
been established. Uzbekistan and Pakistan demonstrate their commitment to
continue supporting each other in the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Economic
Cooperation Organization.

The cultural-humanitarian sphere has been identified as one of the most
important and promising areas of partnership.

«The peoples of Uzbekistan and Pakistan living at the crossroads of the ancient
Great Silk Road have been linked by a common history, a common language and a
rich spiritual heritage», Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasized.

Uzbekistan and Pakistan intend to implement the youth programs and enhance ties
in science, art, cinema and sports.

It was noted that the interest in studying Urdu is growing year by year in
Uzbekistan. In turn, Pakistan also pays a great attention to the study of the
Uzbek language and literature, the history of Uzbekistan based on the leading
higher education institutions, such as the National University of Modern
Languages of Islamabad, Punjab and Peshawar Universities.

«During the visit, we have signed a notable package of documents, in particular,
a Joint Declaration on further steps to develop a strategic partnership, which
outlines our future efforts to further enhance cooperation between our
countries. Our relations, which derive strength and inspiration from our
spiritual roots, will continue to rise to new heights for the benefit of our
peoples”, the President of Uzbekistan has said.
