Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev attended the signing of an Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (EPCA) with the Presidents of the European Council and the European Commission in Brussels on October 25, marking a new phase in their partnership.
This document, signed on behalf of the EU by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Council President António Costa, replaces the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement signed in 1996.
This new text strengthens political dialogue between Brussels and Tashkent. But it also consolidates many areas such as trade, investment, research, sustainable development and intellectual property.
The two partners also discussed exchanges in new sectors such as critical raw materials needed for ecological and digital transitions.
