Political
Saida Mirziyoyeva, the Head of the Presidential Administration of Uzbekistan, held talks with President Emmanuel Macron during her official visit to the French Republic. The meeting, organized at the initiative of the French side, underscored the special status of relations between the leaders of the two nations. Mirziyoyeva conveyed the warmest wishes from Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, whom Macron warmly referred to as a close friend.
During the conversation, the French head of state expressed full support for the ongoing reforms in Uzbekistan and emphasized a keen interest in expanding the footprint of French business in the country. In a notable gesture of trust, Macron personally provided Saida Mirziyoyeva with his direct phone number to facilitate the swift resolution of any emerging intergovernmental matters.
Currently, the economic foundation of the partnership is valued at nearly $10 billion, encompassing 48 joint strategic projects. This cooperation spans pivotal sectors such as energy, transport, infrastructure, education, and healthcare. The prospects of this multi-faceted collaboration were reviewed in depth during a highly productive meeting between Mirziyoyeva and Jean-Noël Barrot, the French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, where Uzbekistan's commitment to remaining a reliable and predictable partner in Central Asia was strongly reaffirmed.
The humanitarian agenda of the visit focused on strategic partnerships with international institutions. At the UNESCO headquarters, Saida Mirziyoyeva met with the organization's Director-General, Khaled El-Anany. The parties discussed the practical implementation of the outcomes of the historic 43rd session of the UNESCO General Conference, which was successfully hosted in Samarkand. Key topics of discussion included human capital development, the regulation of artificial intelligence, creative industries, the empowerment of women's leadership, and the preservation of world cultural heritage. The visit culminated in a triumph for Uzbek art at one of Europe's most prestigious venues: Saida Mirziyoyeva attended the Royal Opera of the Palace of Versailles, where the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan performed the opera Tamerlano, beautifully illustrating how cultural diplomacy effectively unites diverse nations.
