Putin says Russia-Uzbekistan ties advance, praises regions council
Коротко
Russian President Vladimir Putin said relations with Uzbekistan are developing successfully in the spirit of strategic partnership and alliance, in a telegram greeting published on the Kremlin website. The message went to participants, organisers and guests of the third Council of Regions of Russia and Uzbekistan, which Putin called an effective mechanism of direct dialogue. He said nearly 80 Russian regions are involved in trade, economic, scientific, technical and humanitarian ties with Uzbekistan.
Почему это важно
The message is a routine diplomatic statement rather than an announcement of new commitments, so its practical effect is limited to signalling continued Russian emphasis on regional-level cooperation with Uzbekistan. Business outlets treated the telegram as the main news of the forum, without reporting decisions taken at the meeting.
