Today we are signing two historic documents.

Alliance is the highest and most trusting level of interstate partnership. Thus, we confirmed that we intend to build a common future. The agreement on the demarcation of the state border testifies to the strength of our ties and serves the cause of peace and security in the region. Our border has always been and remains the border of friendship and good neighborliness, Nova24.uz quotes Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
