Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev have discussed regional and global issues as well as bilateral relations during a phone call, Türkiye's Communications Directorate said on Friday.
Erdogan said ties between the two countries were deepening and noted that a new roadmap had been established following the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting in January.
He said he hoped to maintain that momentum through meetings during his planned visit to Uzbekistan "at the earliest opportunity."
Erdogan also said decisions to strengthen the Council of Elders had been adopted at the informal summit of the Organisation of Turkic States in Turkistan in May.
He said Türkiye hopes to build on those decisions at the Organisation of Turkic States summit in Ankara on October 29-30.
Erdogan invited Mirziyoyev to the COP31 climate summit in Antalya on November 11-12 and congratulated him on his birthday.
