First wishes from Istanbul and Spain
The Uzbek branch of the Central Asian Regional Environmental Center, in the framework of the project "Raising Awareness on Water and the Environment in Uzbekistan, Development of Cooperation" (UzWaterAware), organized a stage tour to the state of Spain.
It is no secret that this project, which has been implemented since 2016 with the financial support of the European Union, is conducting outreach efforts to solve problems related to water and the environment. A delegation of 24 people, including specialists in the field of agriculture and water management, media staff, and journalists, boarded a plane bound for Spain via Istanbul on February 22. After 5 hours of flight, we arrived at the magnificent Istanbul airport in Turkey. We went around the Istanbul airport, knowing that the flight to Spain will fly to Madrid in 4 hours. The airport is crowded with passengers of different races and nationalities. Everyone is busy with their own worries and problems.
It is clear that the visit of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Turkey on February 20-21 was of great importance in terms of the joint implementation of significant, important tasks and long-term plans. There is no doubt that only solidarity and mutually beneficial cooperation can be a criterion for progress. It is not difficult to see the common goals between the peoples of Turkey and Uzbekistan, the attentive and respectful attitude of the presidents of the two countries, as well as the openness of heart and soul. This is a guarantee that the future of both countries will be great.
