Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan regards the CIS as a structure, which gives great opportunity to maintain direct international dialogue, President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov said at the session of the Council of Heads of States of the CIS in Minsk, Belarus, on 10 October.
Karimov said that Uzbekistan is interested in expanding mutual beneficial cooperation with all partners based on taking into account interest of each other. He said that Uzbekistan does not see any barriers for activities of the CIS in context of formation of other integration unions in the territory of the former Soviet Union.
“Our meeting is being held under the conditions of a rapidly changing international environment, increasing geopolitical tension, political confrontation and ongoing global financial and economic crisis,” Karimov said. He expressed concern on growth of violence, threats of terrorism, extremism and drug trafficking.
Speaking about Afghanistan, Islam Karimov said: “As a close neighbor of the country, Uzbekistan is confident that only the completion of the process of creation of a new government in Afghanistan with participation of the main opposing ethno-religious and political forces, can help to reduce instability, eradicate poverty, restore the economy and ensure peace and tranquility in the country.”
“Regarding the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, we are confident that refusal from force as a means of settling all the problems, use of political means based on the international law and the UN Charter, as well as unconditional fulfillment of Minsk agreements on ceasefire and truce by the parties, not in words but in deeds, can create necessary conditions for the negotiation process on achieving peace in Ukraine,” Karimov added.
