To His Excellency

to Mr. Serdar Berdimuhamedov,

To the President of Turkmenistan

Dear Serdar Gurbangulyevich!

It gives me great pleasure to send Your Excellency my sincere congratulations and best wishes on an important and significant date in the history of the Uzbek and Turkmen peoples - the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.

Turkmenistan has been a close neighbor and a good friend for us from time immemorial, a time-tested reliable partner with whom we are connected by common cultural traditions, similar language and customs.

Looking back at the path traversed by the two states during the years of independence, it is worth noting that for 30 years we have managed to create a solid political, diplomatic and legal basis for mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries.

The relations of strategic partnership based on mutual respect and support, thanks to our common political will, have risen to a qualitatively new level in recent years and have been enriched with practical content. Political contacts at the highest level, inter-parliamentary and interregional ties have intensified.

Within the framework of the intergovernmental commissions on trade, economic, scientific, technical, cultural and humanitarian cooperation, as well as the commission on water management, we are making resolute efforts in all areas of bilateral cooperation.

During our friendly and fruitful meetings with you in Tashkent, Samarkand and Ashgabat in 2022, we once again confirmed our interest in the consistent development of multifaceted and long-term cooperation relations.

At the same time, I would like to note that Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan have a huge potential that has not yet been tapped for the benefit of our peoples, and we are ready to significantly increase mutual trade turnover and expand the range of products, further strengthen industrial cooperation.

Dear Serdar Gurbangulyevich!

I am confident that the strategic partnership relations established between our states, worthy of being a model for others, will continue to develop successfully in the name of the common interests and well-being of our fraternal countries.

Taking this opportunity, I wish you good health, family happiness, great success in your responsible activities, and peace, constant progress and further prosperity to the people of fraternal Turkmenistan.

With respect,

Shavkat Mirziyoyev,

President of the Republic of Uzbekistan
