Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Adkham Shadmanov, Member of UzLiDeP faction in the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan
On the invitation of President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has arrived in our country with an official visit to discuss the current state and prospects of further development of cooperation between our countries, strengthening of regional security.
This official visit we consider as an important new stage in the long-term of Uzbek-Pakistan relations and as a bright manifestation of the willingness of the parties to continue an open and trusting dialogue at a high level on important concerning us bilateral, regional and international issues, as well as to give further impetus to our multifaceted and mutually beneficial cooperation.
The sides exchanged views on further development of trade-economic, investment and cultural-humanitarian cooperation. In this context, UzLiDeP underlines that the current level of trade does not correspond to the economic capacity and capabilities of the two countries and in this case UzLiDeP believes that this requires exploiting unused resources, increasing the volume and diversifying the range of mutual trade as well as the activation of mutually beneficial contacts between entrepreneurs of both countries.
Both countries support each other in the international arena. This year decided to start the process of the adoption of the State in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which we believe will serve as another factor in the development of mutually beneficial and multilateral cooperation of Uzbekistan and Pakistan. In general, the political dialogue between Tashkent and Islamabad develops regularly and contributes to the consistent development of cooperation in all spheres.
Tulkin Eshnazarov, Member of UzLiDeP faction in the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan
Pakistan has its huge political and economic, military-technical and human potential, favorable geopolitical position, balanced foreign policy. This country now plays a leading role in regional politics, solving major international problems.
It should be noted the development of relations with Pakistan is one of the important directions of Uzbekistan`s cooperation in the security sphere. In turn, Pakistan is in favor of expending the mutually beneficial cooperation with our country, considering Uzbekistan as a historically close neighbor with its huge economic potential, geopolitical position, and developed infrastructure.
UzLiDeP believes that consistent development of relations between Uzbekistan and Pakistan meets the long-term interests of not just our countries, but also has a positive impact on strengthening security, the development of trade-economic, communication and human relations in the region as a whole. Uzbekistan and Pakistan as close neighbors of Afghanistan are equally interested in establishing peace and stability in that country. This creates an opportunity for the construction of direct transport corridors between our States, a further expansion of trade and economic relations.
Therefore, within the official visit of Prime Minister of Pakistan on the invitation of the President of Uzbekistan special attention was paid to the Afghan issue, which is important for further development of cooperation. The sides were unanimous that the problem of Afghanistan can be solved uniquely only by peaceful political negotiations under the auspices of the UN and the ceasefire of the warring parties.
Summing up the last visit we believe that the agreements will open a new page and will give an additional impetus to the development of long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries.
