Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has arrived in St. Petersburg on a working visit.

The Uzbek leader was welcomed at Pulkovo International Airport by Denis Manturov, St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov, and other officials.

As part of the visit, Mirziyoyev is scheduled to meet with the President of the Russian Federation. The sides are expected to discuss current issues of Uzbek-Russian cooperation and prospects for further development of bilateral relations.

One of the key events of the visit will be the president’s participation in a ceremony marking the start of construction of the first reactor of Uzbekistan’s integrated nuclear power plant. The project is regarded as an important step toward ensuring the country’s long-term energy security and developing its national energy infrastructure.

On June 5, Mirziyoyev will take part in the main events of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

The forum is traditionally one of the largest international platforms for discussing global economic issues, investment, technological development, and international cooperation.

Uzbekistan’s participation in the forum reflects the country’s continued expansion of foreign economic ties and its active engagement in international economic processes.
