Uzbekistan
A new chapter in relations with the Fifth Republic has opened in Tashkent: the Senate of the Oliy Majlis hosted a delegation from the French Senate for the first-ever bilateral interparliamentary forum. The meeting served not merely as a diplomatic gesture but as a practical step toward implementing the ambitious agreements reached by the leaders of both nations.
First Deputy Chairman of the Senate Sodiq Safoev and French Senator Valérie Boyer emphasized that the strategic partnership between Tashkent and Paris now requires deep parliamentary support. The forum spanned three key areas: politics, economy, and culture.
Economy and Education in Figures and Facts:
Trade Turnover: The parties highlighted a record growth in mutual trade, which reached $1.4 billion by the end of 2025.
