Working visit to Antalya

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev will visit Antalya, Turkey, on November 10–11 to take part in the events of the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31). The visit takes place at the invitation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as reported by the press service of the head of state (Gazeta, UzNews.uz, Zamon.uz).

Summit agenda and Uzbekistan's participation

The global climate summit brings together heads of state and government, leaders of international organizations and financial institutions, as well as high-level delegations. The agenda includes implementation of the key provisions of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, addressing environmental challenges and threats, and developing international cooperation in advancing the goals of green development.

What is planned for the Uzbek delegation

The head of state will deliver a speech at the summit's plenary session and hold a number of bilateral meetings and talks — the specific partners and topics of the meetings were not named at the time of publication. For context: Uzbekistan joined the UN Framework Convention in 1993 and became a party to the Paris Agreement in 2018, so its participation in COP31 continues within the framework of the climate commitments the country has already undertaken.
