Iran and Uzbekistan should take advantage of their shared interests to deepen their connections in a variety of areas, according to the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Iran (IMNA) - On Sunday, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the president of Uzbekistan, was greeted by Ayatollah Khamenei in Tehran.

The Leader said that the two nations had distinct historical, cultural, and scientific traits in common.

After a protracted suspension, Ayatollah Khamenei praised the beginning of a new chapter in bilateral ties and said that Iran and Uzbekistan's cooperation had previously been "very limited."

The Leader expressed the hope that President Mirziyoyev's trip and talks with top Iranian authorities will pave the way for improved relations in the future.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran is capable of connecting Uzbekistan to the high seas via Turkmenistan and Afghanistan." And the reasons for bilateral cooperation go beyond commerce and transportation," said Ayatollah Khamenei.
