In his welcoming remarks, the President of Uzbekistan warmly congratulated the brotherly peoples on the occasion of Navruz, the holiday of spring renewal, and the holy celebration of Ramadan Hayit – Eid al-Fitr.

“Today is truly a great and long-awaited celebration for our people. We have signed a historic Treaty on the Junction Point of the State Borders of our three countries. From now on, borders will be lines of brotherhood – spaces of new opportunities, creativity, and integration”, the President stated.

It was emphasized that our peoples share one sacred land, one faith, one destiny, as well as common concerns, joys, and aspirations. We must now work together to transform this beautiful land into a dignified and prosperous life for both current and future generations.

In recent years, thanks to a shared political will, relations between our countries have undergone significant positive changes.

Today, the Treaty on Allied Relations between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan has officially entered into force. A similar agreement between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is expected to be signed in the near future.

There has been dynamic growth in trade, investment, freight transportation, and mutual travel by citizens. The number of successful cooperation initiatives continues to increase.

It was noted that during today’s talks, agreements were reached on creating favorable conditions for business and cultural exchanges, increasing the frequency of direct flights, and launching new bus routes between cities in the border regions.

Special attention was given to the regular organization of cultural events, creative festivals, youth forums, and sports competitions.

“Art knows no borders – its great mission is to unite people. And today’s concert, featuring talented masters of the arts from our three countries, will once again showcase the richness, diversity, and shared heritage of our cultures”, concluded the President of Uzbekistan.
