우즈벡 대통령 국빈 방한, 1992년 수교 이후 두 나라의 관계 확인
Korea and Uzebekistan have had diplomatic relations for a quarter century now, since just after Uzbekistan won its independence with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Since then they've built strong ties in commerce and industry... and through historical links between their people.
Won Jung-hwan has more.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and Uzbekistan. Through Uzbek President Mirziyoyev's state visit, officials from the two nations hope to further strengthen those ties.
(ENGLISH)
"Undoubtedly the state visit of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Korea Republic will give the most powerful impulse to future development of both countries,…and the future development in all the fields in economy, including the pharmaceutical field."
Today, Korea is one of Uzbekistan's most important investment partners, and Uzbekistan is Korea's largest trading partner in Central Asia, with annual trade consistently exceeding 2-billion U.S. dollars in recent years.
President Mirziyoyev's visit coincides with a Korea-Uzbekistan business forum, which was held in Seoul on Thursday, aimed at strengthening economic ties between the two countries.
(ENGLISH)
"We believe this is going be a remarkable visit as we signed a huge package of documents amounting 10 billion U.S. dollars,... among those 10 billion, 4.2 billion, we expect, is going to be a direct investment in various areas in our economies such as infrastructure"
As well as economic ties, Korea and Uzbekistan have close cultural links too. 2017 marks the 80th year since the settlement of Korean migrants in Central Asia. Among the 500-thousand ethnic Koreans, also known as Goryeoin, who migrated to Central Asia, more than 180-thousand settled in Uzbekistan.
Korea and Uzbekistan have this shared history, as well as their shared economic interests. The Uzbekistan President's state visit will help the two countries develop this relationship further.
