Türkiye's Erdogan, Uzbekistan's Mirziyoyev discuss regional and global issues

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev have discussed regional and global issues as well as bilateral relations during a phone call, Türkiye’s Communications Directorate said on Friday.

Erdogan said ties between the two countries were deepening and noted that a new roadmap had been established following the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting in January.

He said he hoped to maintain that momentum through meetings during his planned visit to Uzbekistan “at the earliest opportunity.”

Erdogan also said decisions to strengthen the Council of Elders had been adopted at the informal summit of the Organisation of Turkic States in Turkistan in May.
