Pleased to meet with @MartinChungong, Secretary General of the @IPUparliament, in Geneva.

We discussed the future of cooperation between Uzbekistan and the @IPUparliament, the development of parliamentary diplomacy, and preparations for the Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians in Samarkand.

It was noted that Uzbekistan’s 🇺🇿 experience in parliamentary oversight of the #SDG is gaining increasing recognition at the international level.

I would like to express my appreciation to @MartinChungong for his significant contribution to strengthening the Inter-Parliamentary Union as an authoritative platform for inter-parliamentary dialogue, as well as for his continued support in fostering constructive cooperation between Uzbekistan and the IPU.
