Uzbekistan MFA Responds To Lukashenka's Ramblings

Tashkent reacted to the words of the Belarusian dictator.

Lukashenka recently announced that Uzbekistan could also join the so-called "union state".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan says in a statement: “These days, some foreign publications, claiming to be objective and impartial in their coverage of events, continue to replicate unfounded statements by some leaders of foreign countries regarding the expansion of the “Union State” and the accession of the Republic of Uzbekistan to it.

In this regard, we once again declare the inadmissibility of such provocations that can damage the friendly relations of Uzbekistan with foreign partners.

The Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to ensure the independence and sovereignty of the country, purely from the national interests, will continue to firmly follow the chosen course of independent development."
