High-level mutual official visits and numerous joint projects took place, boosting partnership in various sectors. The reciprocal presidential visits symbolized the beginning of a new chapter of deeper friendship and cooperation, he said.

“I am sure that this year we will continue to strengthen our bilateral partnership, enhance the horizons of mutually beneficial cooperation encompassing a broad circle of directions, such as trade-economic, cultural, humanitarian and other areas.
