Mr Minister,
Dear friend,
I completely share what you have said about the quality of our relations, strategic partnership and alliance. Our presidents have set the tone. They are building our relations on the foundation that had been laid over the past years. It is of principle importance, and we have praised it, that President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon took part in the Victory Parade on Red Square on May 9 together with other leaders.
Today we have a lot of topics that are being addressed for the benefit of our countries and peoples, above all economic and energy issues, which are the foundations of our economies. Today it is impossible to solve problems on one's own, and that is why regional processes and integration formats in Central Asia and on the Eurasian continent are becoming more attractive.
We cooperate closely in these formats, including within the CSTO and the SCO. I believe that today we will outline other ways to support this cooperation even more actively and effectively in the interest of our nations.
I completely agree with you that it is necessary to further coordinate our actions on the international stage, above all at the UN, as friends and allies do.
