The interparliamentary group, consisting of 16 people, was headed by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Development and Ecology of the Aral Sea region Boriy Alikhanov.
It should be noted that in April 2021, a friendship group with the Parliament of Uzbekistan was founded in the Riigikogu of Estonia.
According to the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Latvia, the introduction of this institute of cooperation will expand inter-parliamentary ties, increase the level of political dialogue, and contribute to the further development of trade, economic, investment, technological, scientific and cultural and humanitarian ties between the two countries.
Interparliamentary cooperation is also one of the main negotiating platforms for coordinating the multilateral efforts of states within the framework of international organizations and regional structures, the Dunyo news agency reports.
Currently, the issue of organizing the first negotiations between the parliamentary friendship groups of the two countries is being worked out.
