The online talks, held on 12 March between President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, became a logical continuation of the consistent development of Uzbek-German cooperation, which in recent years has acquired a progressive, dynamic character, - said Akramjon Nematov, First Deputy Director of the Institute for Strategic and Interregional Studies (ISRS) under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This was also a confirmation of the high level of mutual trust between the leaders of the two countries, which has developed thanks to the regular political dialogue, which began with the meetings of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, held in Berlin and Tashkent in 2019, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Federal President Frank Walter Steinmeier.
