The visit will take place on October 30 and 31. This information was obtained from the press service of the Finnish leader.
On October 31, official talks will be held in Tashkent between Alexander Stubb and the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The meeting will discuss a new phase of cooperation between the two countries, trade and investment relations, as well as global geopolitical issues.
Within the framework of the visit, a business seminar, a lecture at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, and meetings with experts in the field of foreign policy will be organized. These events will serve to further strengthen economic and scientific ties between the two countries.

The last visit of the President of Finland to Uzbekistan was made in 1992 by former President Mauno Koivisto. This visit, taking place after 33 years, is expected to open a new chapter in the relations between the two countries.
On the eve of the visit, Shavkat Mirziyoyev spoke with Alexander Stubb by phone and discussed areas of cooperation in trade-economic and humanitarian fields. The presidents expressed their intention to further develop friendship and a reliable partnership.
Alexander Stubb’s visit to Tashkent is not only about official negotiations but is also an important step aimed at strengthening long-term strategic relations between Finland and Uzbekistan (source: zamin.uz).
