Korean President Lee Jae Myung held a meeting with the speaker of the Uzbek Senate, Tanzila Narbaeva, on Monday at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul. The meeting highlighted the growing strategic relationship between the two nations, according to presidential spokesperson Kim Sung-wan. Lee expressed optimism about the deepening economic cooperation between Korea and Uzbekistan, noting that bilateral ties are now considered a special strategic partnership, following Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's September state visit.
During that visit, Lee and Mirziyoyev met in Seoul and agreed to enhance cooperation in areas such as critical mineral supply chains, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and human and cultural exchanges. The Korean president urged Narbaeva to garner support for the summit agreements within the Uzbek parliament, and the Uzbek Senate speaker pledged to actively promote the strengthening of bilateral relations, as reported by Kim.
