Slovakian President made an official visit to Uzbekistan
President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini arrived at Samarkand International Airport on the evening of October 29. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
His visit to Uzbekistan is being made at the invitation of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The President was welcomed at the airport by an official delegation led by Uzbekistan’s Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov.
During the visit, the two heads of state are scheduled to hold high-level talks. The meeting will discuss the current state of cooperation between Tashkent and Bratislava and outline directions for its further development.
In particular, the parties are considering issues related to increasing mutual trade volume and implementing joint investment projects. Additionally, President Peter Pellegrini’s visit program includes participation as an honorary guest at the 43rd UNESCO General Conference.
This international event begins on October 30 in Samarkand and is being held outside the organization’s headquarters in Paris for the first time in 40 years. The conference is expected to host high-level delegations from over 200 countries.
Uzbekistan’s hosting of this forum indicates the country’s growing international prestige. The Slovak President’s visit is a logical continuation of the active political dialogue between the two countries.
It is worth recalling that in June 2025, Uzbekistan and Slovakia signed a Joint Declaration on establishing strategic partnership relations. This document has brought bilateral relations to a new level.
