Relations between Uzbekistan and Korea have stood the test of time after their establishment on Dec. 30, 1992, and are especially evident through a special strategic partnership formed in April 2019, Uzbek Ambassador to Korea Vitaliy Fen said.
The envoy pointed out that Uzbekistan was the first country to send a delegation to Korea after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, which is a testament to the partnership signed between the administrations of Presidents Moon Jae-in and Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
