The Honorary Consulate of Uzbekistan in Jordan hosted a reception in Amman Tuesday evening to mark the 35th anniversary of the country's independence, bringing together officials, ambassadors, journalists and guests.

Uzbek Ambassador to Jordan Nodirjon Turgunov highlighted the steadily expanding ties between Jordan and Uzbekistan, saying bilateral relations have gained significant momentum, supported by strong relations between the leaderships of the two countries and reflected in growing cooperation across a range of sectors.

Turgunov said His Majesty King Abdullah II's visit to Uzbekistan in August last year provided fresh impetus to bilateral relations, opening new avenues for cooperation and resulting in the signing of several agreements and a series of talks between the two sides.

He also pointed to Uzbekistan's economic, administrative and technological reforms and the opportunities they for deeper cooperation and investment with Jordan, particularly in green energy, technology, water, exports and capital development. The reforms are being pursued under the country's "Uzbekistan 2030" strategy.

Uzbekistan's Honorary Consul in Jordan, Luay Abu-Ghazaleh, welcomed the progress in bilateral relations and stressed the importance of maintaining that momentum and further expanding cooperation in ways that serve the mutual interests of both countries.

The reception also featured a video presentation highlighting Uzbekistan's development achievements and investment opportunities.
