On April 3, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan Abdulaziz Kamilov met with the delegation of the Republic of Singapore led by the Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mayor of Singapore’s South East District Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman.

At the meeting, main attention was paid to the prospects for further strengthening Uzbekistan – Singapore relations, including interaction within the UN and other organizations.

The parties noted with satisfaction the participation of Singapore’s leading companies in implementation of projects significant for Uzbekistan’s economy and confirmed their interest in further enhancing cooperation in trade-economic, investment, tourism, cultural-humanitarian and other fields.

A proposal was considered to resume the inter-MFA political consultations after a 7-year break. It was noted that this mechanism of regular contacts allows foreign ministries to monitor the implementation of previously reached agreements, focus on new areas of cooperation, as well as exchange views on current international and regional issues.
Other issues of mutual interest were also discussed at the meeting.

Ambassador of Singapore Zulkifli Baharudin attended the negotiations.
