\"\"This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. Over this period, Uzbek-Malaysian relations have been developing consistently and fruitfully, based on the principles of friendship, equality, mutual support, respect and consideration of each other\u2019s interests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The traditional close ties of friendship between the Uzbek and Malaysian peoples are based on common religion, similarity of customs and cultural values.<\/p>\n

The main goals and objectives of the strategic development and modernization programs \u00abUzbekistan-2030\u00bb and \u00abMalaysia MADANI\u00bb implemented by our countries also demonstrate similarity and are aimed at ensuring sustainable economic growth and improving the quality of life and well-being of the population.<\/p>\n

High-level visits and established mechanisms of interstate dialog have played an important role in promoting and deepening bilateral interaction.<\/p>\n

To date, six high-level visits have been conducted. In 2020, \u00abfriendship groups\u00bb were established between the parliaments of the two countries, which significantly intensified inter-parliamentary dialogue. Consequently, in April 2023, Johari bin Abdul, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Malaysian Parliament, visited Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

In June 2024, Nur Jazlan Mohamed, the Deputy President of the Senate of the Parliament of Malaysia visited our country. In return, a parliamentary delegation led by Speaker of the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis Nuriddin Ismoilov paid a visit to Malaysia in July 2024.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Political consultations between the foreign ministries of the two countries are held regularly, where the sides discuss current issues on the bilateral agenda. Six rounds of political consultations have taken place thus far. Notably, delegations led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan visited Malaysia in February and July of 2024.<\/p>\n

A solid legal framework has been established between the two countries, consisting of 25 intergovernmental and other documents.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Tashkent and Kuala Lumpur closely coordinate within the framework of regional and international organizations such as the UN, CICA, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Non-Aligned Movement, mutually supporting each other\u2019s initiatives and demonstrating a convergence of positions on the most pressing global and regional issues.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that a more active dynamic in Uzbek-Malaysian relations has been observed in recent years. Thanks to the active and trusting political dialogue between the leaders of the two countries – President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim, Uzbek-Malaysian cooperation is now filled with new content and reaching a higher level.<\/p>\n
