Visit to Ankara concluded

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has concluded his working visit to Ankara and departed for Tashkent. At Etimesgut Airport, the head of state and his spouse were seen off by Minister of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye Ömer Bolat and other officials — this was reported by Zamon.uz and Kun.uz, which described the conclusion of the trip on October 30.

What the program included

During the visit, the leader of Uzbekistan met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and took part in the opening ceremony of the Park of Civilization of Turkic States. In addition, he participated in the next summit of the Organization of Turkic States, where, according to the outlets, he identified priority areas for further expanding multilateral partnership and put forward a number of important initiatives. Separately, as part of the trip, bilateral meetings were held with the heads of leading Turkish companies.

Outcomes of the trip

The two outlets' publications describe the same trip and match in details: the composition of those seeing him off, the meeting with Erdoğan, the park opening, and the summit. At the same time, the summit's final documents and the substance of the initiatives put forward are not disclosed in the reports on the visit's conclusion — they are presented only in general terms of 'important initiatives' and priorities of multilateral partnership. Thus, at this point, the very fact of the visit's conclusion and its program are confirmed, while specific agreements remain outside the scope of these publications.
