Just nine days remain until the 35th International Festival of Arts Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk. BelTA invites you to take a look back through our archival materials, which highlight the most memorable moments from every edition of the festival. Today, we turn to the 2018 edition.

While some state-to-state relations are measured exclusively by trade figures and the number of signed documents, there are partnerships whose foundation cannot be quantified. Built over decades and tested by time, such ties gradually turn into a strategic asset. Cooperation between Belarus and Uzbekistan falls precisely into this category. Today, the two nations are bound not only by growing economic indicators, joint ventures, and investment projects, but also by a shared historical memory, a trusting political dialogue, and the understanding that sustainable development in the modern world is impossible without cooperation. The upcoming official visit of Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Belarus on 8–9 July is set to launch a new chapter in this partnership. BelTA covers how the historical experience of the two nations became the foundation of their current cooperation, why Belarusian technologies are in high demand in Central Asia, and what new opportunities are opening up for Minsk and Tashkent.
