LONDON: Jordan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi met his Uzbek counterpart, Bakhtiyor Saidov, in Tashkent on Monday for talks on boosting cooperation between the two countries.
They also reviewed the outcomes of a road map agreed during Jordanian King Abdullah II’s visit to Uzbekistan and talks with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in August.
Safadi and Saidov discussed the details of about 20 agreements and memorandums of understanding in the fields of trade, agriculture, water, municipalities, pharmaceuticals, energy, health, tourism, culture, investment and defense.
These will likely be signed during Mirziyoyev’s visit to Jordan later in the year, the Jordan News Agency reported.
The two countries have already signed a visa exemption agreement to boost trade, tourism and cultural exchanges. Last month, airline Royal Jordanian launched its first flights between Amman and Tashkent.
