Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov met Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on the sidelines of the UN climate summit (COP31) in Antalya, Saidov said.
“We discussed the current state and prospects of bilateral relations, with particular attention to expanding trade and economic cooperation and maintaining regular business contacts. We also exchanged views on pressing regional and international issues,” Saidov wrote.
Sybiha called the meeting “substantive and productive.” He said he briefed Saidov on the peace process, the situation at the front and the blocking of shipping in the Black Sea.
“Ukraine has long-standing friendly relations with Uzbekistan and other Central Asian states. We seek to build on this foundation to develop a pragmatic, mutually beneficial partnership and cooperation in investment and trade,” Sybiha wrote.
The ministers last met in April 2026 on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, and before that in September 2025 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York.
