The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan hosted a crucial meeting between Deputy Foreign Minister Rakhmatulla Nurimbetov and George Chkheidze, the Charge d'Affaires of Georgia in Uzbekistan on January 10, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported. The discussions centered on a range of bilateral issues, marking another significant step in the continuous strengthening of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
During the meeting, the representatives exchanged views on pressing matters within the bilateral agenda and evaluated the progress made on previously agreed-upon initiatives. Both parties emphasized the importance of sustained collaboration between the parliaments and government institutions of Uzbekistan and Georgia. The dialogue extended to encompass the potential for enhancing interregional cooperation, fostering tourism ties, and advancing public diplomacy efforts.
Among the topics discussed was the upcoming 30th-anniversary celebration of diplomatic relations between Uzbekistan and Georgia. The officials outlined the schedule for various events at different levels, underscoring the historical significance of three decades of mutual cooperation and friendship.
This meeting follows the recent political consultations held in Tbilisi on December 5, where Deputy Foreign Minister Bobur Usmanov led the Uzbekistani delegation in discussions with Georgian counterparts led by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Khvtisiashvili. The consultations served as a platform to review the positive trajectory of bilateral relations and explore future collaboration prospects across various sectors.
The relationship between Georgia and Uzbekistan has flourished both bilaterally and within the framework of numerous multilateral platforms. Georgia formally recognized Uzbekistan's sovereignty on October 10, 1991, and diplomatic relations were established in 1994. The opening of the Georgian Embassy in Tashkent in August 1997 further solidified the ties between the two nations. Since May 1999, the Ambassador of Uzbekistan to Azerbaijan has concurrently served as the accredited representative in Georgia.
Beyond bilateral engagements, Uzbek-Georgian relations have extended to various international organizations, including the United Nations (UN), Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCEPA), and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) until 2009.
