At the beginning of the meeting, the head of state noted that there is much to discuss in light of the preparations for the planned visit of Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Belarus. 

«I think by that time we will update the list of all our points, summarizing them and developing a plan for the short and medium term. Relations are developing well. Especially in the light of the recent visit of our government delegation headed by the prime minister to your country», the president said. «I greatly appreciate the agreement to hit $2 billion trade turnover in the near future, by around 2030. This is entirely possible. Especially since the economies of our countries are not competitors to one another. Everything that we produce from agriculture to mechanical engineering is all needed by the densely populated Uzbekistan».
