“Our defense is ready for any situation” – Shavkat Mirziyoyev speaks of Afghanistan
During his visit to the Navoi region, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev met with people of the region and touched upon the situation in Afghanistan.

“It’s natural that the situation in Afghanistan makes us all think. Don’t worry, our defense is ready for any situation, we are in control of the situation. But what makes me think is that they are our dear neighbors, they can’t move either, and neither can we.
So, since last night, we have temporarily operated the Hayraton Bridge to help the suffering Afghan people. Because the people of Afghanistan need help now, and if they strive for peace, we will help them.
We had a conversation with the Taliban two years ago, and when no state was doing that yet. Their leader in Doha, Mr. Baradar, promised that no shots would be fired towards the Uzbekistan side then. It is only natural that we keep in touch with them because they keep their promises.
We need the peace of our people. For this purpose, I will talk to any party, no matter who they are. Our analysis two years ago showed that this would be the case in Afghanistan,” the President said.
