"We accepted the credentials of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Chile to Uzbekistan, Eduardo Escobar," wrote the head of Uzbekistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on his telegram channel. "During the meeting, we noted the importance of strengthening our relations, consolidating business ties, and establishing new formats of cooperation, including inter-parliamentary dialogue, joint trade commissions, and much more."
