The visit underscores the strong ties between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan and highlights their commitment to fostering collaboration in various fields.
On November 24, President Mirziyoyev will play a key role in the inaugural summit of the UN Special Programme for the Economies of Central Asia (SPECA). The summit aims to further enhance multilateral cooperation among the participating countries, including Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
The agenda for the summit encompasses several crucial topics, including the expansion of regional projects through the establishment of a dedicated fund, the development of a comprehensive "road map" for the digitization of transport corridors, and the promotion of business initiatives to stimulate economic growth in the region.
The SPECA program, initiated on March 26, 1998, under the Tashkent Declaration, seeks to strengthen economic cooperation among Central Asian nations and facilitate their integration into the global economy. President Mirziyoyev's participation in the summit underscores Uzbekistan's commitment to regional economic development and collaboration.
In conjunction with the summit, Baku is hosting a series of SPECA business events, including an economic forum and an exhibition showcasing the industrial potential of Central Asian countries. These events provide a platform for leaders and stakeholders to discuss and explore opportunities for economic advancement and cooperation.
