"Egypt was one of the first Arab countries to recognize the
independence of Uzbekistan and was the first state to open its
embassy in Tashkent in 1993. We are confident that Egypt can become
the gateway of Uzbekistan to Africa, and in turn, Uzbekistan can
serve as our exit to the region of Central Asia. "

Shavkat Mirziyoyev for paying special attention to expanding
investment and trade cooperation with Egypt. "We look forward to
the visit of the Uzbek President to our country and hope that it

reforms, for the introduction of market mechanisms for foreign
exchange regulation, and the creation of favorable conditions for
doing business. She stressed that the past year was a landmark in
relations between Egypt and Uzbekistan as visit of Egyptian
President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi to Uzbekistan in 2018 was historic,
opened a new page in bilateral relations and laid a solid
foundation for bringing economic cooperation to a new level of
strategic partnership.
Within the framework of business forum, bilateral negotiations
and cooperation exchange in the format of "B2G" and "B2B" were
organized, resulting in agreements in the development of tourism
