Outcome of Uzbek presidential elections discussed in Baku

Report informs that the event was attended by heads of a number of Azerbaijani media outlets, who observed the presidential elections in Uzbekistan.

Representatives of the Uzbek embassy in Azerbaijan Bahram Gaipov and Mahamajon Botraliev said that the Azerbaijani media widely covered these elections, which speaks of fraternal relations between the two nations. They emphasized that all the media, whose representatives took part in the trip have their own big audience, due to which this important event in the political life of Uzbekistan was actively covered.

Director of the Report news agency Fuad Guseynaliyev thanked the Uzbek embassy for organizing the visit. He highly appreciated the course of the elections, noting that each candidate was able to present his own election platform. "This shows how Uzbekistan has opened up to the world and is ready for further changes," he said.

In his view, this was also confirmed by an interview with the head of the state company Uztransgaz: “Despite the fact that Uzbekistan is known throughout the world as an exporter of gas, it was especially surprising to learn that the country also imports gas. In addition, Uzbekistan is implementing large projects in the field of gas processing, the transition to renewable energy sources and, in general, in the energy sector."

The director of the Report agency noted that the Uzbek people are very open and friendly. And the results of the elections held in Uzbekistan indicate that the country will continue to actively develop for the next 5 years.
