Mutual support was expressed for decisive measures taken in both countries to counteract the spread of coronavirus, minimize the negative impact of this dangerous disease on the economy and bilateral relations, provide targeted support to the population, and promote the development of key sectors of the economy and business.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev expressed sincere gratitude to the leader of Turkey for the practical assistance provided in the fight against the pandemic, as well as in connection with the emergency at the Sardoba reservoir.
