Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, having close or similar positions on regional and global issues, primarily related to ensuring universal peace and security, constructively interact in the international arena, local TV channel Altyn Asyr reports.
This was noted at a meeting between Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov in Ashgabat. "A separate topic of discussion was effective cooperation within the UN, a number of other international and regional structures."
Berdimuhamedov said that a special place was given to trade and economic ties, noting the positive dynamics of bilateral trade turnover, as well as in the fuel and energy, transport and logistics, and agricultural sectors.
The report says that the progressive nature of the dialogue in cultural, scientific and educational spheres is also of great importance for further rapprochement of the peoples of the two states, strengthening centuries-old friendship and good-neighborly ties.
Saidov arrived in the Turkmen capital on a working visit to participate in the regional meeting of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Central Asia-Republic of Korea Cooperation Forum.
