The Ambassador of Uzbekistan to Kuwait, Ayub Khan Yunusov, affirmed the depth of Kuwait-Uzbekistan relations, praising Kuwait’s role in supporting the development process in his country, particularly through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development. He emphasized that ties between the two nations are built on mutual trust, respect, and shared interests, and hold broader prospects for cooperation in the coming years.

This statement was made by Yunusov during a speech at a celebration hosted by his embassy to mark the 35th anniversary of Uzbekistan’s independence, attended by State Minister for Economic Affairs and Chairman of the Public Authority for Investment, Abdulaziz Al-Marzouq; Deputy Minister of Defense Sheikh Dr. Abdullah Al-Mashal; and a number of officials, ambassadors, diplomatic corps members, and public figures.

Yunusov stressed that Kuwait-Uzbekistan cooperation is not limited to the development sector but extends to multiple fields, expressing his hope to expand bilateral partnership in the near future to include sectors such as trade, investment, energy, education, tourism, innovation, and others.

On the tourism and humanitarian fronts, he noted that the visa exemption for Kuwaiti citizens entering Uzbekistan for 30 days has contributed to opening wider horizons for interaction between the two peoples and enhancing tourism and cultural exchange.

He expressed Uzbekistan’s pride in its relations with Kuwait, commending the approach pursued by the Kuwaiti leadership, which is based on peace, stability, and dialogue. He also extended his gratitude to the Kuwaiti government for its patronage and care for the Uzbek community residing and working in Kuwait.
