BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 8. Uzbekistan and
Georgia agreed to develop a joint roadmap for parliamentary
cooperation for 2027–2028 during a meeting in Tashkent.
This was reflected in the statement by the Senate of Oliy Majlis
of Uzbekistan, following a meeting between Tanzila Narbayeva,
chairwoman of the Senate of Uzbekistan’s Oliy Majlis, and Georgian
Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on the sidelines of the 153rd
Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
The sides discussed further developing strategic partnership
relations and strengthening interparliamentary cooperation between
Uzbekistan and Georgia.
The establishment of bilateral strategic partnership relations
during the Uzbek president’s state visit to Georgia in July opened
new opportunities for cooperation between the two countries,
according to the Uzbek side.
The officials emphasized the need to intensify contacts between
relevant parliamentary committees and interparliamentary
cooperation groups and involve them more actively in discussions on
specific areas of bilateral cooperation.
"The joint roadmap for 2027–2028 is intended to support the
consistent development of interparliamentary dialogue, identify
concrete measures in priority areas of cooperation and support the
Uzbekistan-Georgia strategic partnership at the parliamentary
level," the Uzbek Senate said.
In addition, the sides exchanged views on prospects for
expanding trade and economic ties, transport connectivity,
investment and digitalization.
They highlighted the importance of strengthening cooperation in
education, tourism, culture and humanitarian affairs.
The meeting was held as part of the 153rd Assembly of the
Inter-Parliamentary Union, providing an opportunity for the two
parliamentary leaders to discuss mechanisms for translating the
countries’ strategic partnership into practical cooperation at the
legislative level.
