Iran, Uzbekistan Ink 10 Cooperation Deals in Landmark Meeting

In a landmark meeting on Sunday in Iran’s capital, Tehran, Iran and Uzbekistan have solidified their bilateral ties by signing 10 cooperation agreements, the website of the Iranian president’s office reports.

These comprehensive agreements encompass areas such as transportation, pharmaceutical production, insurance, trade, technology, and agriculture. They were signed in the presence of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who made his first visit to Iran in over two decades.

Mirziyoyev’s trip, which saw him leading a high-ranking political and economic delegation, signals a significant step forward in bilateral relations.
