BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 14. Uzbekistan and Türkiye discussed ways to deepen parliamentary cooperation and support the implementation of bilateral agreements as relations between the two countries continue to develop under their comprehensive strategic partnership.
This was relected in the statement by the Senate of Oliy Majlis following a meeting of the Uzbekistan-Türkiye and Türkiye-Uzbekistan interparliamentary cooperation groups.
The participants reviewed the current state and prospects of multifaceted cooperation between Uzbekistan and Türkiye, with particular attention given to the growing role of parliamentary dialogue in bilateral relations.
The sides noted that cooperation between the two countries has reached the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership, supported by political will and mutual trust between their leaders.
The officials also highlighted the increasing intensity of parliamentary exchanges and reciprocal visits in recent years.
A key topic was the implementation of a 2026-2027 parliamentary cooperation roadmap signed in April between Uzbekistan’s Oliy Majlis and Türkiye’s Grand National Assembly.
The roadmap includes joint parliamentary events and visits, exchanges of experience in lawmaking and parliamentary oversight, as well as mutual support for initiatives within international parliamentary organizations.

“Parliamentary oversight of the agreements reached at the highest level is essential to ensuring that bilateral cooperation produces concrete results,” the Uzbek side said.
The parties agreed to strengthen parliamentary oversight over the implementation of high-level agreements and organize a visit by the leadership of Türkiye’s Grand National Assembly to Uzbekistan.
They also agreed to support the participation of young Turkish parliamentarians in the 12th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians, which will be held in Samarkand.
The meeting underscores the growing role of parliamentary diplomacy in supporting Uzbekistan-Türkiye relations and translating high-level political agreements into practical cooperation.
