The EU is ready to support the Strategy for Further Development of Uzbekistan for 2017-2021, EU Special Representative for Central Asia Peter Burian, who is on a visit in Uzbekistan, said at a meeting with journalists in Tashkent Apr. 28.

He noted that this strategy, which includes implementation of reforms in various fields, was adopted at the initiative of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, adding that the EU appreciates Uzbekistan’s important role in maintaining stability in the region and its economic development.

The EU welcomes the ongoing reforms in Uzbekistan, the EU special representative said.

These reforms create conditions for strengthening bilateral relations of Uzbekistan with the EU and other states of Central Asia, he added.
