The discussions between the two dignitaries were marked by a shared commitment to fostering the longstanding friendship and comprehensive cooperation between Uzbekistan and Mongolia.
The talks delved into a range of pivotal issues aimed at further advancing the diplomatic ties between the two nations. One notable aspect of the dialogue was the recognition of extensive opportunities for expanding trade and economic collaboration.
Both parties emphasized the need to enhance political and interparliamentary dialogue, bolster the legal framework, and propel promising joint projects and programs, with a specific focus on the agricultural sector.
Deputy Minister Bobur Usmanov had previously engaged in virtual negotiations with his Mongolian counterpart, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Amartuvshin Gombosuren, on January 10.

This meeting follows a significant diplomatic exchange in October 2023 when the government delegation of Uzbekistan held high-level talks with the Prime Minister of Mongolia, Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai, at the state residence "Ala-Archa" in Bishkek. The meeting underscored the continued development of bilateral relations and built upon the historic summit between Presidents Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan and Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh of Mongolia, which took place in Samarkand the previous year. The summit laid the foundation for strengthened ties between the two nations.
Discussions during the recent meeting focused on the future tasks and commitments required to ensure the effective implementation of agreements reached at the highest levels. Both parties acknowledged that the current volume of mutual trade does not fully realize the potential of the two nations, emphasizing the substantial room for growth in the years to come.
