Tanzila Narbayeva, Chairperson of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan, met with a Tajik delegation led by Rustami Emomali, Chairman of the Majlisi milli of the Majlisi Oli of Tajikistan. The talks focused on strengthening parliamentary ties, sharing legislative experience and expanding cooperation between the two countries.
The meeting addressed ways to deepen inter-parliamentary dialogue, improve lawmaking and strengthen parliamentary oversight.

The state visit of the President of Tajikistan to Uzbekistan on 26–27 March this year and the first meeting of the Supreme Interstate Council were identified as important milestones that opened new prospects for bilateral cooperation.
Rustami Emomali praised the high standard of organization of the 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, held in Tashkent last year, and the 12th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians, held in Samarkand on 4–6 September this year.
