The visit of the President of Uzbekistan to Ashgabat, fruitful negotiations with the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov served to further deepen the strategic partnership.
