State of bilateral relations

Minister Stefan Krajewski stressed that an important step toward intensifying relations with Uzbekistan had been the inaugural meeting of the Polish-Uzbek working group on cooperation in the field of agriculture, held in November 2025 in Tashkent.

– I am convinced that the implementation of the findings of this meeting will contribute to obtaining mutually beneficial results of Polish-Uzbek cooperation. The year 2025 was a time of intensive dialogue on agricultural issues between Poland and Uzbekistan. We are expecting the continuation of close contacts also this year – said Minister Krajewski.

The head of the Polish Ministry of Agriculture also reminded that in April 2026 a Polish national stand was planned to be present at the UZFood fair in Tashkent. The Minister expressed his hope that Polish agri-food products promoted during this event would find a large group of customers in Uzbekistan.
