  • Determination of national interests for all regions and territories of Ukraine, and such unifying factors may be social policy and economy.

Alisher Kurmanov thanked for the warm meeting, interesting and meaningful digression into the history and present of Odessa region and especially noted the state position and approach to the head of the regional state administration.

The Ambassador noted that Ukraine and Uzbekistan follow a similar path, overcoming the same stages, processes of formation and risks. He said that today Uzbekistan is on the path of new approaches, policies of reasonable compromises and integration.

We have a desire to strengthen and deepen mutually beneficial ties in various fields and areas, in particular, in the field of foreign trade, agro-industrial complex, textile production, tourism and to establish twinning relations. I hope that during the meeting we will be able to identify points of common interests and actions, because the Odessa region has a strong potential.
