On 22 January 2026, a meeting was held between the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Republic of Uzbekistan, Beibut Atamkulov, and the Speaker of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Nuriddin Ismoilov.

During the meeting, the parties discussed the current state and prospects of interparliamentary cooperation, as well as the calendar of upcoming international events, including the next meeting of the Council of Interparliamentary Cooperation between the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

In addition, the Ambassador briefed the Uzbek side on the key outcomes of the fifth session of the National Kurultai, during which the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, presented new initiatives aimed at further socio-political development of the country. He also conveyed the main points of the President’s recent interview with the Turkistan newspaper.

The Speaker of the Legislative Chamber подчеркнул that Uzbekistan is closely following the reforms being implemented in Kazakhstan and expressed the readiness of deputies to participate in the roundtable.
