BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15. Uzbekistan and
South Korea are seeking to strengthen parliamentary cooperation and
establish a mechanism to monitor the implementation of agreements
reached at the highest level, particularly in trade, investment and
cultural ties.


This was reflected in the statement by the press service of the
Uzbek president, following a meeting between Uzbek President
Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Cho Jeong-sik, speaker of South Korea’s
National Assembly.


The sides noted the important role of the two countries’
parliaments in advancing their special strategic partnership.
Interparliamentary friendship groups are active, parliamentary
delegations regularly exchange visits, and specialized committees
maintain an exchange of legislative experience.


The sides emphasized the need to establish a dedicated mechanism
for parliamentary monitoring of the implementation of agreements
reached by the two countries’ leaders. Particular attention will be
given to commitments aimed at expanding trade and economic ties,
investment cooperation and cultural and humanitarian exchanges.


The two sides also highlighted the implementation of the
Electronic Parliament project in both chambers of Uzbekistan’s Oliy
Majlis with support from South Korea’s National Assembly and the
Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).







The project is aimed at strengthening the digital capabilities
of Uzbekistan’s parliament and improving the use of electronic
tools in legislative and parliamentary processes.


The meeting also produced an agreement to hold a series of
parliamentary diplomacy events in 2027 to mark the 35th anniversary
of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Uzbekistan and
South Korea.


The planned events are expected to provide an additional
platform for parliamentary exchanges and discussions on bilateral
cooperation, while supporting the broader development of the
Uzbek-Korean special strategic partnership.


The agreement comes as the two countries seek to broaden
bilateral ties beyond government-to-government cooperation by
strengthening institutional links between their legislative
bodies.
