Amman: The Honorary Consulate of Uzbekistan in Jordan hosted a reception in Amman Tuesday evening to mark the 35th anniversary of the country's independence, bringing together officials, ambassadors, journalists, and guests.
According to Jordan News Agency, Uzbek Ambassador to Jordan Nodirjon Turgunov highlighted the steadily expanding ties between Jordan and Uzbekistan, noting that bilateral relations have gained significant momentum. This progress is supported by strong relations between the leaderships of the two countries and is reflected in growing cooperation across a range of sectors.
Turgunov mentioned that His Majesty King Abdullah II's visit to Uzbekistan in August last year provided fresh impetus to bilateral relations, opening new avenues for cooperation. This visit resulted in the signing of several agreements and a series of talks between the two sides.
He also discussed Uzbekistan's economic, administrative, and technological reforms under the country's "Uzbekistan 2030" strategy. These reforms are creating opportunities for deeper cooperation and investment with Jordan, particularly in green energy, technology, water, exports, and capital development.
Uzbekistan's Honorary Consul in Jordan, Luay Abu-Ghazaleh, welcomed the progress in bilateral relations and emphasized the importance of maintaining that momentum. He stressed the importance of further expanding cooperation in ways that serve the mutual interests of both countries.
The reception also featured a video presentation highlighting Uzbekistan's development achievements and investment opportunities.
