The Azerbaijani people highly respect the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev for his achievements and good relations, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in his remarks at the seventh Central Asia Summit.
“First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev for the invitation to attend the seventh Central Asia Summit. I would like to express my gratitude to the Uzbek side for the traditional hospitality.”
“Under the wise leadership of my brother Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Uzbekistan is confidently moving forward on the path of development and creativity. Great international influence, effective economic reforms, large-scale projects in the fields of industry, transport, and agriculture have brought Uzbekistan to a leading position in the region. Uzbekistan is among the leading sports countries of the world thanks to the daily care of the President. The recent Summer Olympic Games clearly demonstrated this.”
“Shavkat Miromonovich is not only a wise statesman, but also a person who has made a great contribution to the development of relations between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. In Azerbaijan, he is loved and respected for his specific work and good attitude towards our people. As a far-sighted politician, Shavkat Miromonovich clearly sees the need for closer cooperation between the countries of Central Asia and Azerbaijan. Once again, dear Shavkat Miromonovich, thank you very much for everything.”
“Yesterday we visited the Center of Islamic Civilization. The center, erected at the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan, is another proof of the President of Uzbekistan's loyalty to the rich cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. At a time when attacks on our religion are intensifying in some countries and Islamophobia is taking a systemic form, the opening of the Center of Islamic Civilization demonstrates to the whole world that Islam is a religion of creativity, tolerance, friendship and brotherhood.”
“The prominent scholars of the Islamic world have made a great contribution to world science and culture, and the Center of Islamic Civilization clearly demonstrates this. I am confident that the magnificent and unique Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent will become the pride of the entire Islamic world”.
“The Central Asia and Azerbaijan have long been a single geopolitical and geoeconomic region.”
“Although Azerbaijan is located in the South Caucasus, today, thanks to active cooperation, Central Asia and Azerbaijan have become a single geopolitical and geoeconomic region that is increasingly important in the world”.
“The countries of Azerbaijan and Central Asia successfully cooperate within various international organizations, support each other’s initiatives, and develop common approaches to solving global and regional issues.”
“The relations between Azerbaijan and the countries of Central Asia have a unique character. We are united by centuries-old common history, spiritual and cultural heritage, brotherhood, friendship and solidarity. We have not only managed to preserve these relations, but also gave them a new impetus, which has the character of a strategic partnership".
