Breakthrough in relations of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan
Today for the first time in stories independent Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan signed an agreement on the state border. We are talking about an interim agreement, signed by representatives of the two countries in the presence of the presidents. The signing took place during the state visit of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the Republic of Kyrgyzstan.
In addition to the interim agreement on the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border, a whole package of documents was signed on the substantial deepening of bilateral cooperation. This is a memorandum on inter-parliamentary cooperation, an agreement between the governments of the two countries on cooperation in the tax sphere, education, science and technology.
For the first time, the consular convention between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, which the parliaments of both countries have not ratified for a long time, begins to operate.
It should be noted that the heads of Uzbekistan did not visit Kyrgyzstan on a state visit since 2000. It was then that the last visit in the status of the state was made by Islam Karimov.
The visit of Shavkat Mirziyoyev, as the press service says, is the beginning of a new milestone in bilateral relations of neighboring republics.

Two people have been waiting for this day for more than 25 years. And this is the merit of Shavkat Miromonovich. There must be fraternal relations between our countries. We were once a single state - the Kokand khanate. Before 1991, we had no borders at all, and when they appeared, it became a problem and a tragedy for many residents. For 25 years, not a single kilometer of the border was described, but now less than a year - 85 percent. We have subtle, extraordinary questions. We have removed many of them. We concluded that we must solve problems for the sake of the future and security. I went to this scrupulously and restrained. Here, emotions should not play, only the mind. Today, reason prevails.
